Algorithm and Flowchart in C Language - Code With Manshi

There are two types of tools to explain the process of a program is called Algorithm and Flowchart.

• Algorithm - To write a step by step method to solve the problem is called Algorithm.
  In other words, it is a solution of any problem in simple english language step-by-step is called algorithm.
  
  
• Advantage of Algorithm -

1. An Algorithm uses a definite procedure.
2. Algorithm has its own logical sequence so it is easier to debug.
3. It is a step wise repressenttation of a solution to given problem, which makes ait easy to understand.
4. It is not depended on any programming language, so it is easy to understand anyone even without programming knowledge.

• Flowchart - It is a graphically / Diagramatic representation of any algorithm is known as flowchart, programmers often use it as a program-planning tool to solve a problem. 
  
  
• It can uses different type of Diagrams -

• Advantages of Flowchart -

1. Flowchart is an excllent way to communicating the logic of a program.
2. During Program development cycle, the flowchart play the roll of a blueprint, which makes program development process easier.
3. It would have been easy enough to convert a flowchart into any programming code.

• Example of algorithm and flowchart
• Example 1 :

 PROGRAM  

#include<stdio.h>
   void main()
{
     int a,b,c;
     printf("Enter a and b = ");
     scanf("%d %d",&a,&b);
     c=a+b;
     printf("c = %d",c);
}

 OUTPUT 
Enter a and b = 2 3
c = 5
