SOLVING PROBLEMS USING ALGORITHMS AND FLOWCHARTS

Some examples are given below to solve the problems using algorithms and flowcharts:
Example 1: Write an algorithm and draw a flowchart to check if a given number is even or odd.

Algorithm: Flowchart:
Step 1: Start.
Start
Step 2: Read Number.

Step 3: Check If Number % 2 == 0 Then
Read a Number
print "Number is even."

Else
Is
print "Number is odd." Yes
Number%2==0? Print Number is even
Step 4: End.

No

Print Number is odd

Stop

Example 2: Write an algorithm and draw a flowchart to find the smallest of two numbers A and B.

Algorithm: Flowchart:

Step 1: Start. Start

Step 2: Read two numbers and store them
in A and B.
Read A and B
Step 3: Compare number A and B. If A is

less than B, then

print "A is smallest" if Yes Print A is smallest
A < B
Else
print "B is smallest" No

Step 4: End.
Print B is smallest

Stop
