                                  Information Processing                  Conditions in a Program





                 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 collected, filtered, sorted, processed,
                 analysed, stored, and then presented in a readable format, known as information. Information
                 processing  involves  acquiring,  storing,  analysing,  retrieving,  and  displaying  data.  Just  like  a
                 computer, our brain acquires, processes, and stores information. Effective information processing
                 is crucial for writing an algorithm.
