What to Focus On

  • Al Khwarizmi is linked with the origin of algorithm.
  • Decimal positioning was one of his important contributions.
  • Algorithms helped simplify old mathematical methods.

  • An algorithm is a step-by-step sequence of instructions.
  • It must work without depending on any programming language.
  • It takes inputs and gives a defined output.

  • Each step must be precise.
  • A good algorithm must finish after a finite number of steps.
  • It should accept input and give output.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

An algorithm and a flowchart are the same thing.

The flowchart always shows the correct logic, so errors in thinking are hard to spot.

A good algorithm may end whenever the student feels the solution is complete.
