D. Answer the following questions.
1. Problem-solving could be any activity or task that a human being or machine does in order to
achieve a specified goal or objective. For example, packing your school bag as per the timetable,
reading your favourite book, going for shopping or movie, and so on. To solve any problem, you
need to perform a series of activities step-by-step.
2. An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure of solving a logical or mathematical problem. It involves
the process of dividing any problem-solving process into proper sequential steps.
A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm or the process to solve a problem.
As the name indicates, a flowchart represents the flow of process in the form of charts using
various symbols.
3. Three examples of different flowchart symbols are as follows:
³³ Terminal: This symbol indicates the beginning and ending of a program in a flowchart. It is
also known as Start/Stop box.
³³ Input/Output: It is used to indicate input and output of a program. It takes input and shows
output.
³³ Processing: This symbol indicates a process, action or any type of operation, such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division.
4. Flow lines show the direction of flow in a program. These lines are also used to connect various
symbols in a flowchart.
Connectors are used to connect breaks in the flowchart.
5. Decision-making is an essential task that all of us indulge in everyday. Decision-making flowchart
helps you to come to a decision on the basis of some logic. This kind of flowchart has at least
one Decision symbol. A Decision symbol has two exit points, one for Yes/True and another for
No/False. These flowcharts are used to raise a certain condition along with its solution.
