What is difference between flow chart and algorithem...could u please provide to me the details

An algorithm is a description of how to carry out a process. An algorithm lists the steps that must be followed to complete the process. Algorithms can be described in English but such descriptions are often ambiguous and open to misunderstanding. Therefore various formal methods of describing algorithms have been developed. The simplest of these is the flowchart.

A flowchart consists of a sequence of instructions linked together by arrows to show the order in which the instructions must be carried out. Each instruction is put into a box. The boxes are different shapes depending upon what the instruction is.

Dear friend,

* Flowchart is a flow or sequence of information pertaining to a particular program.

* It is very easy to understand and then to implement the program.

* Flowchart uses specific symbols for specific reasoning.

* It has a proper structure.

* Whereas the algorithm is a bit difficult to understand comparing the flow chart.

* It is a step by step information that depicts the program.

* It does not include any specific symbols.

* Best wishes :-)

What is pseudo code?

Difference Between Flow Chart and Algorithm

Flow Chart--

Flow chart is important tool for developing algorithm and program . It is pictorial representation of step by step solution of a problem.
It uses boxes of different shapes that denotes different type of instruction.

Algorithm--

Algorithm refers to the logic.it is step by step description how to arrive at the solution to the problem.
The set of rules that define how a particular problem can be solved in finite number of steps is known as algorithm.

Difference Between Flow Chart & Algorithm :

An Algorithm is a precise rule / set of rules how to solve some problem

A Flowchart is a diagram of the sequence of operations in a computer program or an accounting system

Flowchart is very important tool foe development algorithm & program

It is pictorial representation of step by step solution of a problem

Algorithm refers to the logic .

Algorithm is define as sequence of instruction that when executed in the specified sequence the desired results are obtained

Dear,
> Algorithm explains how a problem is solved or how a certain process is executed and that to step by step in details.

> Flowchart is a graphical representation of various steps involved in the process and may not have detailed information/instructions of the steps that were involved in the execution of problem.

First you have to know the what are the tool are used to express the logic of the Problem and specifying the sequence and analysis of Problem and there is various problem solving tool and they are ::

• Flow Chart
• Pseudo Codes
• Algorithms

These are the tools used to analysis of the problem and know the behind the logic and implementation of the problem .

Flow Chart ::

-It is simple flowchart is pictorial representation of an algorithms in which the steps are drawn in the form of different shapes of boxes and the logical flow is indicated by interconnecting arrows .

-Simply we say it is a blue print of program and it is drawing a blue print before writing the computer program .

- The flowchart is drawn according to defined rules and using standard symbols prescribed by ANSI .

Algorithm ::

-Algorithms is step by step execution of the problems and it is clearly mentioned all the condition and loop in the algorithms . It is created the algorithm any programmer before implementing computer program .

-Algorithms are one of the most basic tool that are used to develop the program solving logic.

Pseudo Code ::

-Pseudo means imitation and code refers to instructions written in a programming languages but pseudo is not real programming code but it models and even look like programming code .

-Pseudo code is an out line of a program written in a form that can easily converted into real programming .

-Pseudo codes uses plain English statements rather than symbols to represent the process of computer program.

Dear..

There is a little difference in both the terms and they are inter related to each other.

Flow chart :- Flow chart is a diagram that express the algorithm in the pictorial format. you can See this in below mentioned pic



Algorithm :- It is a step by step solution to solve some calculation in Maths and the below mentioned pic can help you more




Hope it will help

Cheers...!!!

Hai,

Flow Chart:-

Flow chart means a diagram. It's pictorial representation of the algorithms. Before we are writing the program it's a blue print for our program.



Algorithm:-



Algorithm is a step by step solution to solve any calculation in mathematics. It is more helpful for solving the logic of the program. It is a sequence of solving the problem.

Difference Between Flow chart & Algorithm :

Algorithm is a step by step solution to solve any calculation in mathematics , it is more helpful for solving the logic of the program

Flow chart means a diagrams , it's pictorial representation of the algorithms

Hello friend,



>> Difference between Flow Chart and Algorithm


>> flowchart

- A flowchart is one way in which to describe an algorithm.

- A flowchart is a diagram of the sequence of operations in a computer program or an accounting system.



>> Algorithm

- An algorithm is a sequence of steps which can be followed to solve a particular problem.

- An algorithm is a precise rule specifying how to solve some problem.




Best of luck
