A n electronic device for storing and processing data. It is typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. Is a programmable electronic device designed to accept data, perform prescribed mathematical and logical operations at high speed, and display the results of these operations . Mainframes, desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and smartphones are some of the different types of computers.
Β§ The pictorial representation of an algorithm with specific symbols for instructions & arrows showing the sequence of operations is known as βFLOWCARTβ. Β§ The basic geometric shapes to denote different types of instructions. And these boxes are connected by solid lines with arrow mark to indicate the flow of operations. Β§ An algorithm is converted into a flowchart & then instructions are expressed in some programming language. Β§ The main advantage of this two-step approach . That is ,while drawing a flowchart one is not concerned with the details of the elements of programming language. Β§ Since a flowchart show of operations in pictorial form, any error in the logic of the procedure can be detected more easily than in a program. FLOWCHART SYMBOLS 1. Terminal Β§ It is used to indicate the beginning (START) & ending (STOP) in the program logic flow. Β§ It has the shape of an ellipse 2. ...
