Introduction to Algorithms and Flowcharts

Your friend is traveling abroad for further studies. You want to call and wish him good luck. Write an algorithm to carry out this action. List down the steps you would take to make the required phone call.

Write an algorithm to find if the given three sides form a triangle or not. A triangle is valid if the sum of its two sides is greater than the third side. If the three sides are side1, side2 and side3, then either of the following three conditions should be met: 1. side1+side2>side3 2. side2+side3>side1 3. side3+side1>side2 List down the steps to solve this problem.

Provide an algorithm and flowchart to print numbers from 0 to 10.

You found something at the beach in the morning. You want to find out whether it is living or nonliving. Create a flowchart to determine whether a thing is living or nonliving. Hint: Think about the properties of living things such as growth, breathing, movement and so on.

You have recently joined a new school and it’s your first day. The challenge is to find your way to school from your home using the route map shown below. Assuming that you are ready to walk and standing outside your door, create a flowchart to find your way to school.

The following flowchart checks if a student has qualified in an entrance exam. (Minimum qualifying marks are 35). Correct the errors, if any.

Analyze the following flowchart and write the problem statement for which it might have been created. Write an algorithm also for it.

Adjust the temperature of the water using the hot and cold water taps. If the water is too hot or cold you have to adjust the hot and cold taps and check the temperature again or else wait for two minutes and check if the water is enough. If the water is not enough, again wait for two minutes, else turn off the hot wait for 2 more minutes and stop.
