Modified Leture Notes 7 (CSC-103) Algorithm

This document contains lecture notes on basic algorithms and flowcharts. It introduces variables, data types, valid and invalid variable names. It provides examples of algorithms to add two numbers, find the average of 3 numbers, calculate the area of a circle, and convert days to months. Relational operators and flowchart symbols are defined. Examples are given for algorithms to calculate the area of a rectangle, determine the largest of two values, and calculate a student's grade. Pseudocode and detailed algorithms are provided for each example.

Variable
A variable is a data name that may be
used to store a data value.
Variable hold a space in the computer
memory. Variable a declaring means
its hold a position in the computer
memory:

Valid name:
Average, hight,Counter_1, x1,ph_value
Invalid Names:
123,(area),25th,%

Algorithm: Adding Two


Numbers

Start
Declare 3 variables x,y,z of int type
Input the value on x
Input the value on y
Calculate z=x+y and store the
result on z
