Algorithm AND Flowchart

The document explains how to create algorithms and flowcharts, which are essential for problem-solving in mathematics and computer science. It includes examples of algorithms for computing averages, determining if a number is odd or even, and finding the largest of three numbers, along with their corresponding flowcharts. Additionally, it introduces pseudocode as a method for outlining program logic and describes block diagrams for visualizing system components and interactions.

HOW TO MAKE

AN ALGORITHM
AND FLOWCHART

By Muhongya
• Logical step-by-step method to
solve the problem, in other
words, an algorithm is a
procedure for solving problems.
ALGORITHM • Used to solve a mathematical or
computer problem, this is the
first step in the process.
• An algorithm includes
calculations, reasoning, and data
processing.
• A flowchart is the graphical or
pictorial representation of an
algorithm with the help of different
symbols, shapes, and arrows to
demonstrate a process or a FLOWCHART
program.
• The main purpose of using a
flowchart is to analyze different
methods.
Common symbols applied in a flowchart:
Terminal Box –Start / End

Input / Output

Process / Instruction

Decision

Connector / Arrow
Now Let’s
try solving a
problem!!!
1. Compute the average of three
FLOWCHART
numbers.
ALGORITHM
• Step 1: Start START
• Step 2: Declare variables num1, num2,
Read
num3 and average. num1,
num2 and
• Step 3: Read values of num1, num2 and num3.
num3.
average =
• Step 4: Find the average using the formula: (num1 + num2 + num3) / 3

average = (num1 + num2 +num3) / 3


Display
• Step 5: Display average. average
• Step 6: End.

END
2. DETERMINE IF THE NUMBER GIVEN FLOWCHART
BY THE USER IS ODD OR EVEN.
ALGORITHM START
• Step 1: Start Input
number
• Step 2: Declare number and remainder.
remainder = number %
• Step 3: Input number. 2

• Step 4: Find the remainder of the


remainder ==
number divided by 2 using the formula: 0
remainder = number % 2 FALSE TRUE

• Step 5: Check:
ODD EVEN
if remainder == 0, then display
“EVEN”.
else, display “ODD”.

• Step 6: End. END


3. FIND THE LARGEST AMONG THREE DIFFERENT NUMBERS
ENTERED BY THE USER.
ALGORITHM
• Step 1: Start
• Step 2: Declare variables num1, num2, num3 and average.
• Step 3: Input num1, num2 and num3.
• Step 4: Check:
if num1 > num2 && num1 >num3, display “num1 is
the largest”.
else, check:
if num2 > num3, display “num2 is the largest”
else, display “num3 is the largest”.
• Step 6: End.
START FLOWCHART
Input num1,
num2, num3

num1 >
num2 && FALSE
num1 >
TRUE num3
num2 >
num3
num1 is
the largest TRUE FALSE

num2 is num3 is
the largest the largest

END
PSEUDOCODE
Pseudocode is an informal way of describing the steps of
a programs solution without using a strict programming
language syntax
PSEUDOCODE

• WHILE TRUE- once there is power


• INPUT – check the value of the switch
• if switch is 0 or off
• RETURN – go back to main logic
• if switch is 1 or on
• INPUT – Check the value of the motion sensor
• if motion sensor value is 0 or off
PSEUDOCODE

• RETURN – go back to main logic


• IF motion sensor value is 1 or there is motion:
• OUTPUT –Flash LEDs.
• OUTPUT-Sound buzzer.
• OUTPUT –Send email.
• OUTPUT – Send text message
•
BLOCK DIAGRAM

• Is a visual representation of the


system's components and their
interactions, illustrating how different
elements (like sensors, gateways, and
cloud servers) connect and
communicate to achieve a specific
