What to Focus On

  • An algorithm is a step-by-step plan to solve a problem.
  • It is written in simple English.
  • It starts with 'Start' and ends with 'Stop'.

  • Algorithms are sequential and logical.
  • Each step is clear and unambiguous.
  • They help in building computer programs.

  • A flowchart is a visual representation of an algorithm.
  • It uses different shapes for different types of steps.
  • Arrows show the direction of the process.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

An algorithm is just any set of steps, even if they are not in order.

Flowcharts can start with any symbol, like a process box.

Input/Output box and Process box are the same and can be used interchangeably.
