PRACTICAL-1

Write an algorithm for programmable problems Example for Reference:


• Add/subtract two numbers
• Find the largest/smallest of 3 numbers
• Calculate and print sum of 'N' numbers

What is Algorithm:

An algorithm is a set of instructions that are followed to perform a task or solve a problem.

Purpose:

Algorithms are used to perform calculations, find information in databases and more. They are a key
part of computer programming. Algorithms take inputs, run them through a series of steps, and produce
outputs.

Examples:

1. Write an algorithm to add/subtract two numbers.

Ans:

Step-1 :start.
Step-2: accept the first number from the user and store it in the variable num1.
Step -3: accept the second number from the user and store it in the variable num2.
Step-4: add num1 and num2 and store the result in the variable sum.
Step -5: subtract num1 and num2 and store the result in variable sub

2. Write an algorithm to find the largest of 3 numbers

Ans:

Step -1: Start


Step-2: Read the three numbers to be compared, i.e., x, y, and z.
Step-3: Check if x is greater than y. If true, check if x is greater than z. If true, print the value of x. If false,
print the value of z. If false, check if y is greater than z. If true, print the value of y. If false, print the value
of z.
Step -4: End

3. Calculate and print sum of 'N' numbers

Ans:
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Read number n
Step 3: Declare sum to 0 and i to 1
Step 4: Repeat steps 5 to 7 until i<=n
Step 5: update sum as sum = sum + i
Step 6: increment i
Step 7: Print sum
Step 8: Stop
