Step 5: Print "The number is odd".

Step 6: Stop.

This algorithm uses the modulus operator (%) to check if the number is divisible by 2. If it is, the number
is even; otherwise, it is odd.
Example 5: Find the Maximum of Two Numbers

Algorithm:

Step 1: Start.
Step 2: Input the first number (Num1).

Step 3: Input the second number (Num2).

Step 4: If Num1 > Num2, then go to Step 5; otherwise, go to Step 6.
Step 5: Print "Num1".

Step 6: Print "Num2".

Step 7: Stop.

In this algorithm, we compare two numbers and select the larger one. If Num1 is greater than Num2, it
displays Num1; otherwise, it displays Num2.
Example 6: Check if a Person is Eligible to Vote Based on Age.

Algorithm:

Step 1: Start.

Step 2: Input the age (Age).
Step 3: If Age >= 18, then go to Step 4; otherwise, go to Step 5.

Step 4: Print "You are eligible to vote."

Step 5: Print "You are not eligible to vote."
Step 6: Stop.

In this algorithm, it checks whether the person’s age is greater than or equal to 18 (Age ≥ 18). If so, it
prints "You are eligible to vote"; otherwise, it prints "You are not eligible to vote".

ITERATION (REPETITION) STATEMENT

An iteration (or repetition) statement in an algorithm refers to a process where a certain set of
instructions is repeated multiple times. This allows the algorithm to process or compute a result over
and over until a specific condition is met. Iteration is essential in programming for tasks that require
repeating actions, such as looping through items in a list or performing a calculation multiple times.

Examples of Iteration Statement Algorithms
Let’s look at some examples to understand the concept of iteration statements.
