Draw a flowchart that takes three numbers
Practical 20) as input and displays the largest among
them.
Flowchart:
Start
Input numbers a, b, c
True
Ka> band a> c False
True False
Print "a is greatest" b> a and b> c
Print "b is greatest"
Print "c is greatest"
End
Note:
In the expression "a> band a>cwe check both "a > b'and "a > c separately. Their results
(true or false) arecombined in away that if both give"true", we get overall true", otherwisewe
get "false".

EXCEPTIONAL EXERCISES
Question 1: Draw a flowchart which takes an input and tells whether it's a Mersenne prime or
not, a Mersenne prime is a prime number that is one less than a power of two. That is, it is a
prime number of the form M, = 2n - 1 for some integer n.
Question 2: Drawa flowchart that takes a number as input and determines whether it is a
Armstrong number or not. A number is called Armstrong if sum of cube of all its digits is equal
to that number.
Example: 153 were: 1+5+3 = 1+125 +27

VIVA QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Short Questions and Answers
1) What is a flowchart?
Ans:A flowchart is a graphical presentation of the steps to solve a problem.
2) What is the importanceof using a flowchart?
Ans:A flowchart is used to quickly understand the way a problem is solved. A graphical
solution is more effective than a textual one.
3) What do we mean by "input" of a flowchart?
Ans:An input means taking data from a user for further processing.
4) What do we mean by "processing" in flowcharts?
Ans: Processing means the steps upon somedata to solve a problem.
5) Why do we use decision making in problem solving?
Ans: To determine whether a statement is true or false. For example, a year is a leap year or
not, is determined by decision making in a flowchart.
6) What do you mean by "output"in flowcharts?
Ans: It is used to show the results or outcomes of a flowchart.
7) Why do we use the "flow line" symbol in flowcharts?
Ans: It is used to show the flow of steps in a flowchart.
8) For what purpose do we use the "start/terminal" symbol in a flowchart?
Ans: To indicate the start and end of a flowchart.
9) For what purpose do we use the "connector" symbol in a flowchart?
Ans: It is used to connect different parts of a flowchart lying on multiple pages.
10) What is a logical error?
Ans: A logical error is a mistake in a flowchart that provides incorrect results.
11) What is "divide and concur" approach in problem solving?
Ans: It is a strategy to divide a complex problem into subproblems.

VIVA QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
12) What is "candid solution" in problem solving?
Ans:The candid solution represents the spontaneous solution and it is possible that a
candid solution may not be the actual solution of a problem.
13) What are the two basic parameters used to measure the efficiency of an
algorithm?
Ans:Number of steps and amount of memory used to solve a problem are two basic
parameters to measure the efficiency of an algorithm.
14) What are the advantages of flowcharts? Enumerate any three.
Ans: 1. Easy to Draw
2. Easy to understand
3. Easy to identify errors
15) What are the disadvantages of flowcharts? Enumerate any three.
Ans: 1. More time required to draw
2. Modifying is not easy
3. Not suitable for large problems
16) What is test data?
Ans: Test data is used to verify whether a given solution is correct or not.
17) What is a validation?
Ans: Validation means to check whether a solution is correct or not.
18) What is Verification?
Ans: Verification means to check whether the solution is solving the actual problem for
which it was designed.
