term four work

Algorithms - A step-by-step problem-solving procedure, especially an established, recursive computational procedure for solving a problem in a finite number of steps.

Pseudocode- a program code unrelated to the hardware of a particular computer and requiring conversion to the code used by the computer before the program can be used.

Machine Language-A set of instructions for a specific central processing unit, designed to be usable by a computer without being translated.

High Level Computer Language- With this program you are able to run a particular program (c) in basically any computer.This is a key advantage of using a so-called "high-level" language - it can be automatically translated or "compiled" into a form which can be executed on practically any computer.

Flowchart- This is also called flow sheet. a detailed diagram or chart of the operations and equipment through which material passes, as in a manufacturing process.


The flowchart symbols used for ;
Beginning and ending a set of instructions - Terminators show the start and stop points in a process. Its a Oblong shape.

Decision making – for decision making the symbol is a Diamond sort of shape.( Indicates a question or branch in the process flow. Typically, a Decision flowchart shape is used when there are 2 options Yes/No, No/No-Go, etc.)

A process or action – to symbolize this they use a rectangle to represent a process or action. (Show a Process or action step. This is the most common symbol in both process flowcharts and business process maps.)
