Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Problem Solving Basics

  • Problem solving is the process of identifying a problem, developing an algorithm for it, and finally implementing the algorithm to develop a computer program.
  • Computers can do tasks faster and more accurately, but they need precise step-by-step instructions.
  • The correctness of output depends on the correctness of input. This is the GIGO concept.
2

2. Algorithm

  • An algorithm is a finite sequence of exact steps that solves a problem or performs a task.
  • An algorithm has a definite beginning, a definite end, and a finite number of steps.
  • The purpose of using an algorithm is to increase reliability, accuracy, and efficiency of obtaining solutions.
3

3. Representation of Algorithms

  • There are two common methods of representing an algorithm: flowchart and pseudocode.
  • Both methods show the logic of the solution and exclude implementational details.
  • Flowcharts use standard symbols connected by arrows.

4. Flowchart Symbols and Basic Examples

  • Standard flowchart symbols include Start/End, Process, Decision, Input/Output, and Arrow.
  • Start/End is also called the Terminator symbol.
  • Process represents a single action or step.
