                       to solve a problem.

                         Algorithm is a set of steps in a sequential manner to solve a
                       problem or to complete a task.
                         Algorithm is commonly used for performing data processing,

                       mathematical operations, manipulating data and searching
                       for a particular data.

                       operations in an information system or program.
                         Flowcharts are used in analysing, designing, documenting or

                       managing a process or program in various fields.                         There are about
