Algorithm and Flowchart Magical Windows-5

 Algorithm and flowchart

Exercise Solution

A. Tick (P) the correct alternative:

1. It is a pictorial representation of formal instructions to perform a task :

 (a)      Algorithm                  

(b)       Flowchart

(c)       Program                    

(d)       Software

 2.                                are used to show :                           

(a)       Flow of instructions           

(b)       Input / Output

(c)       Start of flowchart

(d)       End of flowchart

3.                     symbol is used as a :                        

(a)       Decision box             

(b)       Process box

(c)       Connector                 

(d)       Output box

 

4. Sometimes when a process needs to be repeated again and again it can be put in a :

(a)       Decision box

(b)       Flowchart

(c)       Loop

(d)       Output box

 

B. Write 'T’ for true and 'F' for false statement:

1.         Flowcharts begin with stop. - False

2.         Flowcharts generally follows top to bottom or left to right approach. - True

3.         Connectors are used to connect two symbols of flowchart. - False

4.         Problems are broken down into smaller steps using flowcharts. - False

p.         The boxes are chosen as per user's wish. – False

 

C. Fill in the blanks:

1. A flowchart shows the flow of task        or instructions.

2.         Algorithm is a set of formal instruction.   

3. The line shows the            direction in which the flowchart is flowing.

4. Loop is used to repeat     a process again and again.

5.. If alterations are required, the flowchart may require redrawing    completely.

6. Flowcharts generally begin from top to bottom or from  left to right.

 

D. Answer the following questions:

1.         What do you understand by Flowchart?

Ans:  Flow chart is pictorial representation of problems which are broken down into smaller steps for solving a problem and reaching a solution.

 

2.         Write down the limitations of using Flowcharts.

Ans: 

        I.            Complex logic: For program logic is quite complicated leads becomes complex and clumsy.

      II.            Alteration and modifications: if alteration is required redesign or re-drawing of flowchart completely.

   III.            Reproduction: flowchart symbols cannot be types, reproduction of flowcharts becomes a problem.

3.         Write what each of these symbols is used for in a flowchart?

Ans: Home work for student. To be done by student.
