  1. CS 240Computer Programming 1 Flowcharts

  2. Algorithm a step-by-step method for solving a problem or doing a task. An informal definition of an algorithm is:

  3. Algorithm A step-by-step problem-solving procedure An algorithm is a sequence of unambiguous instructions for solving a problem. The number of steps of an algorithm will be countable and finite. It is a sequence of instructions (or set of instructions) to make a program more readable; a process used to answer a question.

  4. How to understand the problem? Define the problem Analyze the problem Develop an algorithm/method of solution Write a computer program corresponding to the algorithm Test and debug the program Document the program (how it works and how to use it)

  5. Tools There are two commonly used tools to help to document program logic (the algorithm) Flowcharts Pseudo code

  6. Flowchart Definition The production flowchart is a visual representation of the sequence of the program. It shows what comes first, second, third, etc A flowchart indicates: The steps to be taken in order to solve a problem. The order or the sequence of these steps.

  7. Flowchart Rules 1. Use only one start and one stop per flowchart, --that is, one way in and one way out of the flowchart. 2. The logic flow of the solution is displayed from top to bottom and from left to right. 3. Use the appropriate symbol for each type of operation. 4. Use arrows when moving to another part of the flowchart rather than lines. 5. Do not leave dead-ends--that is, a part of a question unanswered.

  8. Symbols

  9. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Example 1 Construct a flow chart that prints "Hello, World"?

  10. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Algorithm Step 1- Start Step 2- Print "Hello, World" Step 3- Stop

  11. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Flowchart Start Print “Hello, World” Stop

  12. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Example 2 Construct a flow chart that finds the sum of two numbers.

  13. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Algorithm Variables Step 1- Start A: First Number Step 2- Read A B: Second Number Step 3- Read B C: Sum (A+B) Step 4- Calculate C = A+B Step 5- Print C Step 6- Stop

  14. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Start Flowchart Read A Read B C= A+B Print C Stop

  15. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Example 3 Construct a flow chart that finds the sum, average and product of three numbers.

  16. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Algorithm Variables Step 1- Start X: First Number Step 2- Read X, Y, Z Y: Second Number Step 3- CalculateS = X+Y+Z Z: Third Number Step 4- Calculate A = S/3 S: Sum (X+Y+Z) Step 5- Calculate P = X*Y*Z A: Average (S/3) Step 6- Print S, A, P P: Product (X*Y*Z) Step 7- Stop

  17. 1.Simple sequential Flowchart Start Flowchart Read X,Y,Z S= X+Y+Z A=S/3 P=X*Y*Z Print S,A,P Stop
