Algorithm Dvpmt:Pseudocode, Types of Statements

In the problem solving steps, what is the next step that comes after:

1. 1. define the problem---->2. Propose and evalute solutions------> 3. select the most efficient solution-----> 4._________?

• Review the problem definition
• 1st.-- Develop

  2nd--- Represent the solution as an algorithm (Pseudocode or Flowchart)

• Analyze the results
• Gather more data

Answer explanation

1.PROBLEM

2. Propose solutions

(e.g. solution A, solution B, soluti

on C)

3. Choose the best solution

(e.g Solution B = the best one)

4.Develop an algorithm to represent this solution

5. Test the solution

Two ways an algorithm can be represented are?

• Flowcharts

• Mathematical equations and tables
• Codes and diagrams

• Pseudocode

What is an algorithm?

• An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem.
• A set of instructions for solving a problem in an infinite number of times

• A random guess about a problem.
• A set of instructions for solving a problem in a finite number of times

An _________ is a set of instructions for solving a problem in a finite amount of times.

Pseudocode is to statements as flowcharts is to diagrams that uses _______ and _______?

• symbols
• graphs
• flowlines

• symbols

What is a pseudocode?

• A pseudocode is a graphical representation of data flow.
• A set of statements in the form of English-like code that mimicks a real programming language

• A pseudocode is a programming language used for software development.
• A pseudocode is a type of computer virus.

What is a flowchart?

• A flowchart is a diagram that uses symbols and flowlines to outline the steps in solving an algorithm

• A flowchart is a mathematical equation used in calculus.
• A flowchart is a set of statements used to solve an algorithm

• A flowchart is a type of computer program.

In algorith development, what is a statement?

• A statement is a comment that explains the code in an algorithm.
• A statement is a collection of multiple lines of code that defines a function.
• A statement is a type of variable used to store data in an algorithm.
• A statement is a single line of instruction

In algorithm development, what are 4 types of ststements?

• Input

• Output

• Assignment

• Unconditional

• conditional

In algorithm development, what are the function of input statements?

• allow the computer to receive data from users in variables for processing

• Input statements are only for internal data processing.
• Input statements are used to display results to users.
• Input statements are responsible for algorithm termination.
