I was thinking, when we follow recipes step-by-step, it helps us get things 59
right. But how does a computer know what to do?
That’s a great way to think about it, Pihu! Just like we follow recipes,
computers follow a set of instructions called an algorithm.
Oh, so an algorithm is like a recipe for computers?
Exactly! Algorithms help them work efficiently every time!
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.
Fun ASCII is made up of 128 symbols in the character set. These symbols
Fact! consist of letters (both uppercase and lowercase), numbers, punctuation
marks, special characters and control characters.
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.
