                    Goldstine and John                   A problem-solving technique is a collection of sequential steps

                           1940s.                        Algorithm is a set of steps in a sequential manner to solve a

                                                       problem or to complete a task.
                                                         Algorithm is commonly used for performing data processing,
                                                       mathematical operations, manipulating data and searching
                                                       for a particular data.

                                                         Flowchart  is a graphical representation  of the sequence  of
                                                       operations in an information system or program.
                                                         Flowcharts are used in analysing, designing, documenting or

                                                       managing a process or program in various fields.
                      There are about                   Flowcharts provide better understanding of a problem.
