Chapter 2: Pseudocode and Flowcharts
Welcome to the second chapter of our journey into the realm of algorithms. In this chapter, we will explore the important tools that computer scientists use to communicate and document algorithms: Pseudocode and Flowcharts. These tools provide a visual and text-based way to represent the logic of an algorithm, making it easier to break down complex problems into simpler steps.
Pseudocode and flowcharts are particularly useful when you want to create or understand an algorithm in a simpler format than a full programming language. Pseudocode is a way to express the logic of an algorithm using simple, easy-to-understand language that mimics the structure of a programming language. On the other hand, flowcharts ...
