What is the purpose of a flowchart?

• To write the actual code

• To input the radius of a circle

• To print out the area of a circle

• To represent the flow of logic in a graphical way

What is the main difference between a flowchart and an algorithm?

• Flowcharts are used for cooking recipes, while algorithms are used for coding recipes

• Flowcharts use arrow symbols, while algorithms use rectangular boxes

• Flowcharts are written in a strict programming language syntax, while algorithms are not

• Flowcharts are pictorial representations, while algorithms are step-by-step statements
