                        ▶  An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions or rules designed to perform a specific task or solve a
                          problem.
                        ▶  A flowchart is a diagram that uses shapes and arrows to show steps in an algorithm.
                        ▶  A system map is a visual tool that shows how different parts of a system are connected and affect each
                          other.
                        ▶  Debugging is the process of finding and fixing errors in a program.
                        ▶  When writing an algorithm, use clear steps with input, actions, and an end that gives the same result each
                          time.
                        ▶  When creating flowcharts, use one Start and Stop, keep the flow clear, use proper symbols, and ensure all
                          arrows connect correctly.
                        ▶  To understand a system, study its elements, how they interact, and the feedback loops that either strengthen
                          (reinforcing) or stabilise (balancing) the system.

                      1.  Tick ( ) the correct option.
                         a.  Select the flowchart symbol that connects points on the same page.

                         b.   Choose the symbol used for a decision (Yes/No) in a flowchart.

                             (i)  Process                                 (ii)  Input/Output
                            (iii)  Decision                              (iv)  Terminal
                         c.  Which of the following is essential in a system map?

                             (i)  Arrays                                  (ii)  Elements and relationships
                            (iii)  Commands                              (iv)  Functions
                         d.  Identify what the Terminal symbol represents in a flowchart.

                             (i)  Data input                              (ii)  Start/Stop
                            (iii)  Processing step                       (iv)  Decision point
                         e.   Select the option that causes a system to malfunction.

                             (i)  Debugging                               (ii)  Fault or error
                            (iii)  Feedback                              (iv)  Balancing

                      2.  Fill in the blanks using the given hints:

                                    Flowchart, Flow Line / Arrow, Process, Debugging, Cause-and-effect
