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.
