Overview

In our daily lives, we follow steps to complete tasks — like making tea or getting ready for school. Similarly, computers need clear and correct instructions to solve problems. In this chapter, we learn how to plan these instructions using algorithms and flowcharts. An algorithm is a step-by-step pl

Key Concepts

An algorithm is a clear

An algorithm is a clear and step-by-step set of instructions to solve a problem. It starts with 'Start' and ends with 'Stop'. Each step is written in

A flowchart is a diagram

A flowchart is a diagram that shows the steps of an algorithm using different shapes like ovals, rectangles, and parallelograms. Arrows connect the sh

Different shapes represent different types

Different shapes represent different types of actions: Oval for Start/Stop, Parallelogram for Input/Output (like taking numbers or showing results), R
