Change NUM=NUM+1.
                                Goto Step 3.

                 Step 4:  Stop
                 Problem 15: Write an algorithm to ask your 5 friends their MARKS in the Unit test. Calculate the
                 average (Hint: Average =sum of all 5 marks/count) and display it.
                 Step 1:  Start
                 Step 2:  Set COUNT=1 and SUM=0.

                 Step 3:  Repeat until COUNT reaches 5.
                           Input MARKS.
                           Change COUNT=COUNT+1.

                           Change SUM=SUM+MARKS.
                           Goto Step 3.
                 Step 4:  Calculate Average=SUM/5.
                 Step 5:  Print Average.

                 Step 6:  Stop
                    FLOWCHARTS

                 A flowchart is a type of graphical diagram that represents an algorithm. Flowcharts are used in
                 analysing, designing, documenting, or managing a process or program in various fields.
                 Symbols Used in Flowcharts


                 Different symbols are used to draw different types of flowcharts.

                     Symbol               Name                                  Description

                                                         It is used to show the start  and  stop points of the
                                   Start/Stop
                       Oval                              flowchart. It usually contains the words 'Start' or 'Stop'.


                                   Process               It shows a process or action step.
                    Rectangle

                                                         It represents information entering or leaving the system,
                                   Input/Output
                                                         i.e., input and output.
                  Parallelogram

                                                         It indicates a question or branch in the process flow. It is
                                   Decision
                                                         used when there are 2 options (Yes/No).
                    Diamond

                                   Flow Line             It shows the direction in which the process flows.
