Introduction to Algorithm
ALGORITHM (AL-go-rith-um) • It is a logical procedure or set of steps to be followed to arrive at a solution to a problem. An algorithm is the breaking down of a problem into simple steps in order to find the right answer. • It is a detailed series of instructions for carrying out an operation or solving a problem.
•The scientific method
ALGORITHM •Pseudocodes •Flowcharts
PSEUDOCODE (SOO-do-kohd) • It is intended for human reading rather than machine reading. • It is an algorithm in English statements written in outline form to conceptualize it before coding in a programming language.
RULES IN PSEUDOCODING Must be language independent. Indent lines to make it easy to read and understand. Show keywords in capital letters (START, IF, END). End every IF with an END IF. End every DO, DO FOR, DO WHILE and DO UNTIL with an END DO.
Step 1 • Prepare your workspace and materials needed. Step 2 • Cut at least 1 ½ meter of duplex stranded wire#12. Step 3 • Insulate both ends for at least 1 ½ inches
Step 4 • Split the other end for about 1 ½ inches. Step 5 • Open the female convenience outlet. Step 6 • Attach the two insulated wires on the two terminals of the convenience outlet. Step 7 • Secure attachment and close the outlet. Step 8 • Attach the other end of the insulated wire to the two terminals of male plug. Step 9 • Secure the connection and test the extension cord.
FLOWCHART • It is a formalized graphical representation of an algorithm, sequenced activities and logic to be performed by the computer for carrying out data processing.
FLOWCHART • It uses special symbols which represent a specific function. It is used by a programmer before the actual start of any programming activity. • It uses arrow to illustrate flow of direction of the process.
