Step 7:  Subtract the number B from the number A and store the result in Difference.

                  Step 8:  Print the Difference.
                  Step 9:  Stop.

                  B.  Algorithm to compare two numbers A and B and find the smallest one
                  Step 1:  Start.

                  Step 2:  Read two numbers and store them in A and B.
                  Step 3:  Compare the numbers A and B.
                  Step 4:  If A is less than B, print "A is smaller" and go to Step 7.
                  Step 5:  If B is less than A, print "B is smaller" and go to Step 7.

                  Step 6:  If A is equal to B, print "A and B are equal".
                  Step 7:  Stop.

                     DEFINING FLOWCHART
                  A flowchart is a type of diagram that visually represents an algorithm or process. It illustrates a
                  series of steps or instructions needed to complete a task or solve a problem. Flowcharts are used
                  to analyse, design, document, or manage various processes or programs in different fields.

                  Flowcharts display the sequence of steps in a program, making them essential in programming.
                  They help simplify and understand complex problems by breaking them down into easier-to-
                  follow steps. Once a flowchart is created, it serves as a blueprint for writing the program in any
                  high-level language. Additionally, flowcharts are effective for explaining a program's logic to
                  others, making them a valuable tool for understanding and communicating complex processes.
                  Symbols Used in Flowchart


                  Different symbols are used to draw different types of flowcharts. Let us discuss them.

                       Name              Symbol                                 Description


                                                        It  shows  the  beginning  and  ending  of  the  flowchart.
                    (Start/Stop)                        It  usually  has  the  words  Start  or  Stop.  It  is  also  called
                                                        terminal box.

                                                        It represents a process, operation,  or  action  step in the
                    Process
                                                        flowchart.

                                                        It represents a question or decision point in the process
                                                        flow.  The  text  inside  the  decision  box  typically  poses
                                                        a question  or checks a condition. If the answer to the
                    Decision                            question is Yes or the condition is True, the flow proceeds
                                                        along one path, often labeled Yes or True. If the answer
                                                        is  No or  the  condition is  False,  the  flowchart  follows  a
                                                        different path, often labeled No or False.
