The flow chart is a very important tool by which we can understand the flow of algorithms and program very easily. It is a pictorial representation of step by step solution to a problem. Programmer often uses it as a program planning tool for visually organizing steps necessary to solve a problem. It uses boxes of different shapes that denote the different types of instruction.
The set of rules that define how a particular problem can be solved an infinite number of steps is known as an algorithm. A good algorithm helps us to create a good program.
A Flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow of the steps in a process. Another name for this tool is “flow diagram.”
Symbols used in Flowcharts
Start / End:-
Process Step:-
Decision:-
Connector:-
Measurement:-
Input / Output:-
Note: To solve a problem in the simplest and better way we use an algorithm and flowchart so first, we will write an algorithm then we will make a flow chart for that problem.
Flowchart Questions & Answers
1)WRITE AN ALGORITHM AND DRAW A FLOWCHART FOR THE ADDITION OF TWO NUMBERS THAT ARE INPUT BY YOU AND DISPLAY THEIR SUM.
Algorithm:-
1. START
2. INPUT A,B
3. C=A+B
4. PRINT C
5. STOP

2) WRITE AN ALGORITHM AND DRAW A FLOWCHART TO PRINT NUMBERS FROM 1 TO 100.
Algorithm:-
1. START
2. I = 1
3. WHILE I <= 100 REPEAT STEPS 4 AND 5.
OTHERWISE MOVE TO STEP 6.
4. PRINT I
5. I = I + 1
6. STOP
