Representing Algorithms Through Flowchart And Pseudo Code
Representing algorithms an algorithm is a set of instructions that describes how to solve a problem.
Representing algorithms through flowchart and pseudo code. They are written using. What is the algorithm of the program that calculates the voltage between the poles of the conductor by using the formula according to the current and. Lectures by walter lewin. Gain confidence in tracing and improving algorithms.
With algorithms we can easily understand a program. Be designed though the use of flowcharts or pseudocode. The voltage v between the poles of a conductor is equal to the product of the current i passing through the conductor and the resistance r present on the conductor it s demonstrated by the v i r formula. A flowchart is the graphical or pictorial representation of an algorithm with the help of different symbols shapes and arrows in order to demonstrate a process or a program.
For the love of physics walter lewin may 16 2011 duration. They will make you physics. Algorithms can be designed using pseudo code and or flowcharts. Take away activities and teaching practice to use in your classroom.
A flowchart is a diagram made up of boxes diamonds and other shapes connected by arrows each shape represents a step in the process and the arrows. While algorithms are generally written in a natural language or plain english language pseudocode is written in a format that is similar to the structure of a high level programming language. The main purpose of a flowchart is to analyze different processes. The main difference between pseudocode and flowchart is that pseudocode is an informal high level description of an algorithm while flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm.
An algorithm is defined as a well defined sequence of steps that provides a solution for a given problem whereas a pseudocode is one of the methods that can be used to represent an algorithm. Become confident in using the key building blocks of sequence selection and iteration and learn to apply algorithmic thinking. 2 2 flowcharts flowcharting is a tool developed in the computer industry for showing the steps involved in a process. Moreover pseudocode and flowchart are two methods of representing an algorithm.
Representing algorithms using flowcharts and pseudocode improve your knowledge of algorithms to the level appropriate for gcse teaching.
