Study Notes
Tools for Representing Algorithms
- Pseudocode: A simplified, high-level description of an algorithm, resembling programming code but without strict syntax.
- Flowcharts: Visual diagrams that depict the sequence of steps in an algorithm, using symbols such as arrows, rectangles, and diamonds to represent processes and decisions.
Types of Computing Devices
- Mobile Devices: Portable gadgets such as smartphones and tablets, designed for versatile use and connectivity.
- Personal Computers (Microcomputers): Compact, versatile computers commonly used for individual tasks such as word processing and internet browsing.
- Midrange Servers (Minicomputers): Serve multiple users connected via a network, often using Desktop PCs, Portable PCs, or dumb terminals, which have minimal processing power and perform basic functions.
- Mainframe Computers: Large, powerful, and expensive systems designed for organizations that handle significant amounts of centralized data, including hospitals, universities, large businesses, banks, and government offices.
