 Representation of algorithms 


  • Algorithms can be designed using pseudo-code and/or Flow charts. 
  • They are written  using statements and expressions. 
  • Pseudocode is more concise and clear than structured English. 
  • Representing your problem solution with a flow chart or pseudocode allows you to concentrate on the logic.
  • The representation of an algorithm is extremally important.  
  • It must rapidly convey the algorithm's meaning with the least amount of effort by the reader. 
  • The best representation for one algorithm may be the worst for another.    
  • Algorithm are generally representation by either,          
    •  Verbal 
    • Algebraic
    • Tabular 
    • Hierarchical
    • Data Flow Diagram
    • Flow chart
    • Pseudo code
