Algorithm

Set of instructions / rules to be followed by a

computer program, which should contain an
INPUT,PROCESS and an OUTPUT, depending
on the problem to be solved.

—Programming Problem
Create a program that will display the sum of 2 numbers
inputted by the user
—Algorithm:

1. Declare 3 variables,2 for the addends and 1 for the sum.

2. Let the user input the addends.
3. Perform the addition between the addends and assign it to the sum.
4. Display the sum.

 Flowchart

A method that allows a programmer to represent

the Algorithm in a Diagram or an Illustration.

Flowcharts represent the sequence of a

programming algorithm by using standard graphics
symbol that will represent the INPUT,PROCESS
and the OUTPUT.

Programming Problem:
Create a program that will display the sum of 2
numbers inputted by the user.

Pseudocode:
Let numOne=0,numTwo=0,and sum=0
Input numOne and numTwo
sum= numOne + numTwo
Ouput sum

—Programming Problem
Create a program that will display the average of 2 numbers
inputted by the user.
Pseudocode 1: Pseudocode 2:
Let numOne=0,numTwo=0,sum=0 and ave=0 Let numOne=0,numTwo=0,and ave=0
Input numOne and numTwo Input numOne and numTwo
sum= numOne + numTwo ave= (numOne + numTwo)/2
ave =sum/2 Output ave
Output ave

—Programming Problem
Create a program that will display “even” or “odd” depending on the
number inputted by the user.
Pseudocode:
Let num=0
Input num
If num is an even number
Output “even number”
If num is an odd number
Output “odd number”
