Algorithm An algorithm is a set of steps to be followed in solving some particular problem. Flowcharts and pseudo-codes are representations of algorithms. ―Natural‖ language NOT programming language flowchart Flowcharts are written with program flow from the top of a page to the bottom. Each command is placed in a box of the appropriate shape, and arrows are used to direct program flow. In computing, there are dozens of different symbols used in flowcharting (there are even national and international flowcharting symbol standards).
