Worksheet: How to Make Algorithm and Flowchart from a given problem
JaxDoc
Vocabulary
- Algorithm — A logical step-by-step method to solve a problem, essentially a procedure for solving problems.
- Flowchart — A graphical or pictorial representation of an algorithm using different symbols, shapes, and arrows to demonstrate a process or a program.
- Terminal Box — A flowchart symbol, typically an oval, used to indicate the ‘Start’ or ‘End’ of a process.
- Modulo Operator (
%) — A programming operator that returns only the remainder after division.
Questions
Watch the video carefully and answer the following questions based on the information presented.
1.
In the video’s first example (computing the average of three numbers), what are the four variables declared in the algorithm?
2.
Based on the second example in the video (determining if a number is odd or even), explain the function of the modulo operator (
%) as described.3.
The video introduces several common symbols used in flowcharts. Identify the name and shape of the symbol used to represent a ‘Decision’.
4.
According to the video, what is the primary purpose of using a flowchart?
5.
The video concludes by stating, “You don’t need to make an Algorithm or Flowchart that looks exactly in this video. You may create your own way as long as the process is understandable and in correct order.” Reflect on this statement. Why is it important to have flexibility in how you design algorithms and flowcharts, and what makes maintaining a “correct order” so critical for their effectiveness?
