Steps in calculating the sum and average of two numbers (Writing algorithm)

Step 1: Start
Step 2: Input the first number num1.
Step 3: Input the second number num2.
Step 4: Add num1 and num2 and store the result in a variable ‘sum’.
Step 5: Divide sum by 2 and store the result in a variable ‘average’.
Step 5: Display the value of sum and average.
Step 6: Stop

Draw a flowchart to calculate the sum and average of two numbers
Step 1: Start
Write an algorithm to find area of a Square.

Step 2: Input the side length of the square (side_length)

Step 3: Compute the area of the square using the formula:
area = side_length * side_length
Step 4: Display the computed area
Step 5: Stop

HW
1) Draw a flowchart to find out the product of two numbers.
2) Draw a flowchart to find out the area of a square.
3) Draw a flowchart to find out the average of two numbers.
4) Draw a flowchart to find out the perimeter of a rectangle.
5) Draw a flowchart to find out the remainder when 11 is divided by 3.
A sample flowchart
 Write an algorithm to find out the greatest of two numbers

1.Start
2.Input the first number and store it as num1.
3.Input the second number and store it as num2.
4.If num1 is greater than num2, then set the value of num1 as the greatest number.
Go to step 6.
5.Otherwise (if num2 is greater than or equal to num1), then:
set the value of num2 as the greatest number.
6.Display the greatest number.
7.Stop

 Data Types
Data type is used to define the type of value a data can contain. It represents what kind of
operation can be done on a particular data. Data types define the way to store values in the
memory.
INTEGER
Integers are the whole numbers consisting of + or - sign without decimal point such as 1000, -88, etc.
Example: >>> a=12 # This is a positive integer value
>>> b=-20 # This is a negative integer value

FLOAT
Float data type represents floating point numbers which contain decimal point. For example, 0.5,
-4.567, 0.001, etc.
Example: >>> a=12.5 # This is a float value
>>> b=12 # This is an integer value

STRING
String is a sequence of characters (alphabets, numbers, operators and punctuation) used to store and
represent text-based information. Single quotes ('') and double quotes (" ") are used to represent strings
in Python.
Example: >>> name="reema“ # name stores a string
>>> password= 'reema@123’
