This document discusses algorithms and flowcharts. It defines an algorithm as a logical step-by-step method for solving a problem and a flowchart as a graphical representation of an algorithm using standard symbols. Several examples of flowcharts are provided, including ones to find the largest of two or three numbers, check if a number is prime, and generate a Fibonacci series. The document also lists some common flowchart symbols and provides exercises for students to create flowcharts to solve various problems.
