Disadvantages of an Algorithm
The disadvantages of an algorithm are as follows:
• There is no standard rule for writing an algorithm, it varies drastically.
• The process of creating an algorithm can be time-consuming.
• It is difficult to represent branching and looping in an algorithm.
Task #Experiential Learning
Do you think of any other way of making a different kind of sandwich? If yes, write the steps in the form
of an algorithm.
Let us look at some other examples of algorithms.
1. Input the temperature in Fahrenheit and convert it into Celsius and display it.
Step 1 Start
Step 2 Input Temp(in Fahrenheit)
Step 3 C=(5/9)*(Temp-32)
Step 4 Display C
Step 5 Stop
2. Input the radius of a circle and calculate its area.
Step 1 Start
Step 2 Input radius
Step 3 Area=3.14*radius*radius
Step 4 Display Area
Step 5 Stop
3. Input an age and check whether eligible for a driving licence or not.
Step 1 Start
Step 2 Input Age
Step 3 If Age>=18 then
Display "Eligible"
Step 4 else
Display "Not Eligible"
Step 5 Stop
4. Display even numbers from 2 to 20.
Step 1 Start
