#Flowchart: Graphical representation of an algorithm
REVISIT
▶ An algorithm is a set of instructions designed to complete a specific task.
▶ A flowchart is the graphical representation of the process and the logic used in it.
▶ Low-level language is a programming language that deals with the computer’s hardware components.
▶ High-level languages are considered to be closer to human beings.
▶ The compiler reads an entire set of instructions written in HLL and then translates them into machine language.
▶ The interpreter reads one line of instruction at a time and translates it into machine language.
