Algorithm, Flowchart

and Program
Algorithm
In mathematics and computer science,
an algorithm is a self-contained step-by-step set
of operations to be performed. Algorithms exist
that perform :

•calculation,
•data processing
•reasoning.
Flowchart
• The first structured method for
documenting process flow, the "flow
process chart," was introduced by Frank
Gilbreth to members of American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 1921
as the presentation “Process Charts—First
Steps in Finding the One Best Way.”
Flowchart
• A Pictorial representation of a program is
called flowchart.

• It contains some symbol which represent


the flow of program.
Program

• A program is a set of instruction and data

• A Programming Language provide the set


of instructions.
