Defining Flowchart Solving Problems Using Algorithm and Flowchart
In everyday life, we often tackle problems using various approaches, which are called problem-
solving techniques. These techniques involve a set of steps to find a solution. Similarly, in
programming, different methods are used to address coding challenges, including techniques
like algorithms and flowcharts.
ALGORITHM
A program is a set of instructions written in a language called a programming language. Before
making a program on a computer, programmers need to analyse the problem and write an
algorithm to solve it.
An algorithm is a sequence of steps designed to solve a problem or complete a task. This problem
can be either logical or mathematical. Just like a recipe helps you cook a meal, an algorithm helps
create computer programs. Algorithms are written in simple and easy-to-understand manner to
ensure that the steps are easily understood by everyone. In programming, an algorithm is a set
of actions that work together to solve a problem effectively.
