Question

Do you think every program needs all three (algorithms, flowcharts, and pseudocodes) of them? Why or why not? Justify your answer with examples.

If you plan to create any two of them for a program, which one would you eliminate? Why?

You have read about fundamental data types in your book. Are these data types enough to represent all data or do you think additional data types are needed? Why or why not? Explain your answer with examples.

Looking at the phases of program development, in which phase should the documentation be done? Why?

Answer 1

algoritham:

an alogitham is a set of instructions for solving a problem. when the instructions are followed, it must eventually stop with an answer.

example:

Input: two numbers x and y
Output: the average of x and y
Steps:
1. input x
2. input y
3. sum = x + y
4. average = sum /2
5. output average

flow chat:
a flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algoritham in which steps are drawn in the form of different shapes of boxes and the logical flow is indicated by interconnecting arrows.

example:

pseudocode:
method of writing algorithms that is independent of programming language.

example:

Input: two numbers x and y
Output: the average of x and y
Steps:
1. START
2. input x
3. input y
4. sum = x + y
5. average = sum /2
6. output average
7. END
