Flow of the program

Flow Chart :- Visualization of our thought process of Algorithm and representing them diagrammatically is called a flow chart.

• Start / Stop -> An oval shape indicates the starting and ending points of the flow chart
• Input / Output -> A parallelogram is used to represent input and output in a flow chart.
• Processing -> A rectangle is used to represent process such as mathematical computation or variable assignment.
• Condition -> A diamond shape is used to represent a conditional statement which results in true or false (Yes or No).
• Flow direction of program -> An arrow shape is used to represent the flow of the program.

Example 1 :- Take a name and output hello name

Example 2 :- Take input of a salary. If the salary is greater than 10,000 add a bonus of 2000, otherwise add a bonus of 1000.

Example 3 :- Input a number and print whether it is prime or not.

Pseudocode

• Pseudocode is like a rough code which represents how the algorithm of a program works.
• In simple words, It is just a way to unite steps which is human-readable format.
• It does not require syntax.
• It is mainly meant for human reading, not for machine reading.

Pseudocode of Example 1

Step 1 : start
Step 2 : Input name
Step 3 : Output name
Step 4 : exit

Pseudocode of Example 2

start 
Input Salary 
if Salary > 10000 : 
      Salary = Salary+2000 
else : 
       Salary = Salary+1000 
Output Salary 
exit

Pseudocode of Example 3

start 
Input num 
if num ≤ 1 
     print “Nither prime nor composite”  
 c = 2 
 while c < num 
     if num % c = 0 
             Output “Not Prime”  
             Exit 
     c = c+1 
 end while 
 Output “Prime” 
 exit
