            An algorithm is a step-by-step instructions in a sequential manner to solve a problem. A flowchart is
            a pictorial representation of an algorithm. A flowchart uses special symbols to represent each step. An
            algorithm and a flowchart are the base to write a program. Let us learn more about algorithmic intelligence
            and making programs.


                 INFORMATION PROCESSING


            We know that information is the processed data. The raw data is collected, filtered, sorted, processed,
            analyzed, stored, and then presented in a readable format, called information. Information processing
            involves acquiring, storing, analyzing, retrieving and displaying of information. Our brain acquires,
            processes, and stores information. Processing of information is very important to write an algorithm.

            Binary Representation of Information

            Binary code is the fundamental form of the programming data that is directly interpreted by a computer.
            Computers store and processes data and information using binary code in the form of digital 1s and 0s
            inside the (CPU) and RAM. These digital numbers are electrical signals that are either ON (1) or OFF (0).
            For example, 5 is stored as 00000101

            Binary numbers can be translated into text characters using American Standard Code for Information
            Interchange (ASCII) codes to store information in the computer’s RAM or CPU. For example, the binary
            code for ASCII uppercase A is 1000001.
