Flowchart — Visual Representation of Algorithms

Shapes or symbols to draw flow charts:-

Example 1: Write an algorithm to find the square of a number.


->Before developing the algorithm, let us first identify the input, process and output:
• Input: Number whose square is required
• Process: Multiply the number by itself to get
its square
• Output: Square of the number

Algorithm to find square of a number.


Step 1: Input a number and store it to num
Step 2: Compute num * num and store it in square
Step 3: Print square

.
Example 2: Draw a flowchart to solve the problem of a non-functioning light bulb.

Example 4.3: Write an algorithm to display the sum of two numbers entered by user, using
both pseudocode and flowchart. Pseudocode for the sum of two numbers will be:-
INPUT num1
INPUT num2
COMPUTE Result = num1 + num2
PRINT Result
Example 4: Write an algorithm to calculate area and perimeter of a rectangle, using both
pseudocode and flowchart. Pseudocode for calculating area and perimeter of a rectangle:-
INPUT length
INPUT breadth
COMPUTE Area = length * breadth
PRINT Area
COMPUTE Perim = 2 * (length + breadth)
PRINT Perim

Example 5: Let us write an algorithm to check whether a number is odd or even.


• Input: Any number
• Process: Check whether the number is even or not
• Output: Message “Even” or “Odd”
Pseudocode of the algorithm can be written as follows:-
PRINT "Enter the Number"
INPUT number
IF number MOD 2 == 0 THEN
PRINT "Number is Even"
ELSE
PRINT "Number is Odd"
Example 6: Let us write a pseudocode and draw a flowchart where multiple conditions are
checked to categorise a person as either child (<13), teenager (>=13 but <20) or adult
(>=20),based on age specified:

• Input: Age
• Process: Check Age as per the given criteria
• Output: Print either “Child”, “Teenager”, “Adult”

Pseudocode is as follows:-
INPUT Age
IF Age < 13 THEN
PRINT "Child"
ELSE IF Age < 20 THEN
PRINT "Teenager"
ELSE
PRINT "Adult"
Example 7: Write pseudocode and draw a flowchart to accept 5 numbers and find their
average.
Pseudocode will be as follows:

Step 1: SET count = 0, sum = 0


Step 2: WHILE count < 5 , REPEAT steps 3 to 5
Step 3: INPUT a number to num
Step 4: sum = sum + num
Step 5: count = count + 1
Step 6: COMPUTE average = sum/5
Step 7: PRINT average
Example 8: Write pseudocode and draw flowchart to accept numbers till the user enters 0
and then find their average.
Pseudocode is as follows:

Step 1: SET count = 0, sum = 0


Step 2: INPUT num
Step 3: WHILE num is not equal to 0, REPEAT Steps 4 to 6
Step 4: sum = sum + num
Step 5: count = count + 1
Step 6: INPUT num
Step 7: COMPUTE average = sum/count
Step 8: PRINT average
