A STEP-BY-STEP REPRESENTATION OF PROBLEM
SOLVING
What is an Algorithm?

 An algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined


instructions to solve a problem.

 Characteristics:
 - Input & Output
 - Definiteness
 - Finiteness
 - Effectiveness
Problem Statement

 Design an algorithm to find even number user-


provided values.
Step-by-Step Algorithm

Step 1: Start
Step 2: Input a number N
Step 3: If N % 2 == 0
Print "N is
even"
Step 4: Else
Print "N is odd"
Step 5: End
Flowchart Representation

 Flowchart illustrating the decision-making to find


the even number.
Pseudocode

 number = int(input("Enter a number: "))


 if number % 2 == 0:
 print("Even")
 else:
 print("Not Even")
Conclusion

 - Each method helps in problem-solving and


planning.
 - Flowcharts give a visual representation.
 - Pseudocode acts as a bridge between
algorithm and code.
