Program technique with the help of Algorithm

A program can have one or more of the different techniques discussed below:

1. Straight line construct

2. Conditional and selection construct
3. Iteration or loop construct
Straight line construct
Straight line program sometimes called sequential progam or serial construct.The serial construct
consist of one operation executed after another in a series.
Example:
Write an algorithm to find the area of a circle when radius is given.
Algorithm:
Step-1 :Read the radius of the circle as r.
Step-2 :Set area=0.
Step-3 :Calculate area=2*3.141*r*r
Step-4 :Print the area
Step-5 :End
P-1. Write an algorithm to convert Dollar($) into Rupee.
P-2. Write an algorithm to convert centigrade to farenhite.
P-3. Write an algorithm to enter the marks in 3 subject and find out the total mark and percentage of
mark assuming full mark in each subject is 100.
Conditional and selection construct
Sometimes ,instead of executing all the instruction, only suitable instructions are executed
depending on the inputs and the condition involved. In conditional branching it relaies upon testing
a condition which results is either True or False.
Example.
Write an algorithm to find the greatest among two given numbers.
Algorithm
Step-1 :Take two numbers as num1 and num2.
Step-2 : if (num1>num2)
Print num1 is greatest.
Else
Print num2 is greatest.
End if
Step-3:End
P-4. Write an algorithm to check wheather a person is elligible to give vote or not when the age is
inputed.
P-5. Write an algorithm to find greatest among three given numbers.
P-6. Write an algorithm to find out the grade of a student in an examination when percentage is
given. Marks<40 grade is 'D”.Mark between 40 to 49 grade 'C',Mark between 50 to 59 grade
'B'.Mark >=60 grade 'A'.
