How to solve problems by flowchart and algorithm?
A flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm. An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem. If you have a problem and you have a flowchart for solving the problem, you begin at the beginning of the flowchart and execute the steps in the sequence shown. (The beginning of the flowchart is usually at the left or top in countries where reading is left-to-right and top-to-bottom.) If you have a problem and need to make a flowchart for solving the problem, first you need to determine what the steps are for the solution. You can do this from experience, research, or trial-and-error, or some combination of these. It is helpful if you can define the conditions that must be met before a step can be executed, and the conditions that will be true after the execution of the step. If a decision must be made for selection of alternative steps, the decision criteria must be clearly identified, and must cover all possibilities. Once you know the step-by-step instructions,
