                 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 base to write a program. Let us learn more about algorithmic intelligence
                 and making programs.


                      INFORMATION PROCESSING

                 We know that information is the processed data. The raw data is collected, filtered, sorted, processed,
                 analyzed, stored, and then presented in a readable format, called information. Information processing
                 involves acquiring, storing, analyzing, retrieving and displaying of information. Our brain acquires,
                 processes, and stores information. Processing of information is very important to write an algorithm.

                 Binary Representation of Information

                 Binary code is the fundamental form of the programming data that is directly interpreted by a computer.

                 Computers store and process data and information using binary code in the form of digital 1s and 0s
                 inside the (CPU) and RAM. These digital numbers are electrical signals that are either ON (1) or OFF (0).
                 For example, 5 is stored as 00000101.

                 Binary numbers can be translated into text characters using American Standard Code for Information
                 Interchange (ASCII) codes to store information in the computer’s RAM or CPU. For example, the binary
                 code for ASCII uppercase A is 1000001.
