                 An  algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions  in  a sequential manner to solve a problem. A
                 flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm. A flowchart uses special symbols to represent
                 each step. An algorithm and a flowchart are the basis for writing a program. Algorithmic intelligence is
                 when computers use rules and data to make decisions, solve problems, or learn from patterns. Let us
                 learn more about algorithmic intelligence and making programs.

                 Information is the result of processed data. Raw data is     of miles by using environmental cues and
                 collected, filtered, sorted, processed, analysed, stored,    internal compasses, similar to navigation
                 and  then  presented  in  a readable format, known as          algorithms that use data and maps to
                                                                                        find optimal routes.
                 information. Information processing involves acquiring,
                 storing, analysing, retrieving, and displaying data. Just
                 like  a  computer, our  brain  acquires,  processes, and
                 stores information. Effective information processing is crucial for writing an algorithm.
