Learning Objective
• Remember: Recall the benefits of programming. • Understand: Define algorithms and explain their importance in programming. • Analyze: Create flowcharts to represent simple processes. • Apply: Write pseudocode for basic programming tasks.
Algorithm, Flowchart, and Pseudocode
An algorithm is a set of instructions that define how to solve a problem. A flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm. Pseudocode is a textual representation of an algorithm.
Program
A program is a step-by-step machine instruction used for solving any problem or computational task.
CCL: -Mathematics: Algorithms and logical thinking. -Science: Scientific method and data analysis. -Language Arts: Writing clear and concise instructions (pseudocode). RLA: illustrates the benefits of programming is the use of computer algorithms in healthcare. UAE: In the UAE and around the world, healthcare professionals and researchers rely on sophisticated algorithms to analyze medical data, diagnose diseases, and even predict outbreaks.

Did you know?
Algorithms are used to generate music, including symphonies written by computers Flowchart is derived from an ancient Chinese diagramming technique called 'Kanji' Pseudocode is not limited to any programming language and can be used to express an algorithm in a generic form
