                  An  algorithm is a set  of 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 basis for writing a program. Algorithmic intelligence
                  is when computers use rules and data to make decisions, solve problems, or learn from patterns. Let
                  us learn more about algorithmic intelligence and making programs.



                         INFORMATION PROCESSING

                  Information is the result of processed data. Raw data is
                                                                              Monarch butterflies migrate thousands
                  collected, filtered, sorted, processed, analysed, stored,   of miles by using environmental cues and
                  and  then  presented  in  a  readable  format,  known as   internal compasses, similar to navigation
                  information. Information processing involves acquiring,    algorithms that use data and maps to find
                  storing, analysing, retrieving, and displaying data. Just              optimal routes.
                  like  a computer,  our brain acquires,  processes,  and
                  stores  information.  Effective  information  processing  is
                  crucial for writing an algorithm.
