Answers
1: A flowchart is a visual diagram that represents the steps in a process or system.
2: ✔️It ensures the algorithm is easy to follow and debug
✔️Simple steps reduce the chance of errors or misunderstanding
3: Better Planning & Improved Communication
4: The loop does not execute even once
What does this algorithm do?
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Input A, B
Step 3: A = A + B
Step 4: B = A - B
Step 5: A = A - B
Step 6: Display A, B
Step 7: Stop
🧮 Part F: Algorithm Writing
[Link] an algorithm to find the sum of two numbers.
Algorithm: Sum of Two Numbers
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Declare variables `num1`, `num2`, `sum`
Step 3: Input `num1`
Step 4: Input `num2`
Step 5: Calculate `sum` = `num1` + `num2`
Step 6: Display `sum`
Step 7: Stop
X=10
Y=10
Sum = y+x
Print(sum)
[Link] an algorithm to check if a number is even or odd.
Algorithm: Check Even or Odd
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Declare variable `number`
Step 3: Input `number`
Step 4: IF `number` MOD 2 = 0 THEN
Display "The number is Even"
Step 5: ELSE
Display "The number is Odd"
Step 6: END IF
Step 7: Stop
