 INTRODUCTION

Programming plays an extremely important role in life. Coming to this report, we will learn
about algorithms, problems related to algorithms and basic programming. It will help us understand
more deeply what is an algorithm, how is an algorithm defined? What is the process of building an
algorithm, and how does the algorithm work? Let's find out in this assignment!
 This report includes the following:
Chapter 1: Algorithms, issues related to algorithms, and basic programming.

1. Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process of programming

an application.

1.1 Provide a definition of what an algorithm is and outline the process in building an

I.Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process of
programming an application. (LO1)
1Provide a definition of what an algorithm is and outline the process in building
an application. (P1)
1.1Define Algorithms
- An algorithm is a method or technique that is
used to solve a problem. It works by having your
computer do a series of predefined actions that define
how to accomplish something, and your computer will
execute it exactly the same way every time.

imples of algorithms in real life: Figure 1-1: Algorithms

Example of algotithm : steps to boil chicken
Step1 : Eliminate the smell of chicken

Step 2: Boil Chicken - Fill the whole chicken with water and cook for 20 minutes

1.2: Ways to demonstrate algotithms

 We generally use one of two methods to represent the algorithm:
The first way: Using Pseudocode.
-Pseudocode is a plain text description of a piece of code or algorithm. It's not really
programming, no scripts, no files and no programs. As the name suggests, it is “pseudocode”.
Pseudocode is not written in any particular programming language.
Example:

Figure 1-6Using Pseudocode

I have an example of a simple natural language face washing algorithm:

 Flowchart symbols:

Performed Student: 4
The second way: Using flowchart .

Figure 1-8: Flowchart symbols

- is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm
- It uses a variety of symbols to describe the steps necessary to solve an issue.
-A flowchart is a type of diagram or flowchart that represents an algorithm or a workflow. Flowcharts come
in many different forms, and the main purpose of using this type of chart is to give the clearest overview of
the workflows that need to be addressed.

Example: Quadratic inequality

Performed Student: 5
 Figure 1-9Quadratic inequality

More information:
he shape of the oval indicates whether the algorithm is at its beginning or end. Its materialis
generally divided into two sections: "beginning" and "ending."

 The following are some examples of flow charts in schematic form:

 1.3 Characteristic of Algorithms

-Input: An algorithm that takes input values from a specified set.

- Output: From each set of input values, the algorithm will generate output values. The output values are
the solutions of the problem.
- Calculation stopping: After a finite number of steps, the algorithm must stop.
- Determination: At each step, the operation steps must be very clear, without causing ambiguity. To be
more specific, under the same condition two processors performing the same step of the algorithm must
give the same results.
- Correctness (efficiency): First of all, the algorithm needs to be correct, that is, after putting data into the
algorithm, the algorithm works and gives the desired results.
- Universality: The algorithm can solve any problem in the class of problems. In particular, the algorithm can
have inputs that are different tuples in a given domain.

Algorithms always have a beginning and an end: every algorithm starts in an initial state with a particular
set of data and ends with a solution or output. They operate in sequence: an algorithm is made up of a
series of ordered steps. The sequences are specific: each step is clear and there is no room for ambiguity.
Algorithms are abstract: they are models or instructions for ordering processes. The number of steps of an
algorithm is finite.

  Note: When multiple algorithms are used to solve a problem, the solution is the same. We
should select the most efficient algorithm. It will aid in the faster and better performance of our
software.
1.4The process in building an application.
 A set of basic algorithm steps for carrying out a task:
 Step1: Analyze and define the problem
 Step2:Create a solution (with example
algorithm)
 Step3: Program design
 Step4: Code program
 Step5: Debugging the program
 Step6: Testing
 Step7: Deployment and Maintenance

Figure 1-16: The software development cycle

 Defining and Analyzing the Problem:

-We investigates the issue in this stage. we determine the

most effective method for resolving these issues. Studying an
issue is also important since it aids a programmer in making
decisions concerning the following: Figure 0-7-22: Analyzing the Problem
 The data and statistics required for the program's development.
 The way the program will be put together.
 In addition, the language in which the program will work best.
 What is the desired output and in what format is it required, …etc.
 Example of the software development cycle: Solve quadratic equation

 Step 2: Define Requirements.

Step 5: Testing
 Firstly, I try three random numbers to see if the equation works like it should?

Figure 1-21: Try three random numbers

 Next, I let a = 0, b and c be 2 random numbers.

Figure 1-22: a = 0, b and c be 2 random numbers

 Next, I let a = 0, b = 0 and c be a random number.


Figure 1-23: a = 0, b = 0, c be a random number.
 a = 0, b = 0 and c = 0.

 Step 6: Deployment

Figure 1-24: Deployment

Performed Student: 10
When building a website, you'll always have your live website, often known as theproduction
environment or live environment.

-Software Deployment will speed up the installation of software and applications. This will bring many
benefits to businesses such as:

-Speed up business development with useful software solutions. In addition, with software solutions,
enterprises can enhance operational content, thereby enhancing their potential.

- This platform can automate business related solution from there trying to manage the process.

- In the digital era, Software Deployment can help businesses connect to remote devices and users can
work from any device at any time.
 Step 7: Operation and Maintenance
- Web application development is important, but so is system maintenance.

-is the modification of software to the changed environment of the product. Environment here means
all factors outside the product such as business rules, laws, working methods, etc.

- Maintain the safety and security of the software. You've probably heard that, no matter how advanced
the technology is, there are times when there will be holes.

- Use the software without interruption: Just think for a small example, the phone in use with a dead
battery will surely make us angry. When the software reaches the maintenance stage, too, it can't be
said that the software is "out of battery", but it is necessary to periodically check for errors and fix it, so
that the risks can be avoided.
