Give Difference Between Flowchart and Algorithm. OR Compare Flow chart And Algorithm briefly.
1. Algorithm is a step-by-step problem-solving method in our descriptive language.
Whereas the flowchart is a step-by-step problem-solving method by special symbols and flowlines.
2. In algorithm we are using special key word like “START”, “STOP”, etc.
Whereas in the flowchart we are using special symbols like terminal, input/ output, process, etc.
3. If our problem is complex an algorithm is very difficult to understand.
Whereas if our problem is complex a flowchart is very easy to understand.
4. There is no need of prior knowledge required to write an algorithm because it is written in our descriptive language.
Whereas we must have prior knowledge required to draw a flowchart.
5. In Algorithm if there is any minor change occurred or happened, there is no need to rewrite the algorithm.
Whereas in flowchart if there is any minor change occurred or happened, we must have to redraw the flowchart.
