 Algorithm

1. An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or set of rules designed to solve a specific

problem or perform a particular task.
2. It serves as a blueprint for solving a problem and can be expressed in natural language,
mathematics, or a programming language.
3. Algorithms are independent of any specific programming language and are more focused
on the logic of solving a problem.

 Flowchart

 A flowchart is a graphical
representation of an algorithm that
uses different shapes to represent
various steps and decision-making
points in a process.
 It visually depicts the flow of
control or the sequence of steps in
solving a problem.
 Common flowchart symbols include
rectangles for processes, diamonds
for decisions, arrows for flow
direction, and ovals for start and
end points.
Characteristics or Properties of Flowchart

1. It is an easy method of communication.

2. It is independent of any programming language.

3. It is the key to correct and accurate programming.

4. It helps to plan and design a new system.

5. It clearly indicates the task to be performed at each level.

 Pseudocode

• Pseudocode is a high-level, informal description of a computer program or algorithm.

• It uses a mixture of natural language and some programming language-like constructs

to express the logic of the algorithm.

• Pseudocode is meant to be easily understandable by humans and is not bound by the

syntax rules of any specific programming language.

Types of Asymptotic Notations in Complexity Analysis of Algorithms

There are mainly three asymptotic notations:

Big-o/ o-Notation
Theta Notation Omega Notation
