Unit 3 - 2 marks

2 MARKS

1. What is a program?
    A program is a set instruction written to carryout a particular task, so that
    computer can perform some specified task.
2. What is algorithm? (JAN 2009)
      Algorithm means the logic of a program. It is a step-by-step description of how
      to arrive at a solution of a given problem.
3. What are the steps to solve the problem in a computer system?
    · Problem must be analyzed thoroughly.
    · Solution method is broken down into a sequence of small tasks.
    · Based on this analysis, an algorithm must be prepared to solve the problem.
    · The algorithm is expressed in a precise notation. This notation is known as
     “Computer Program”.
    · The Computer program is fed to the computer.
    · The instruction in the program executes one after another and outputs the expected
     result.
4. How can you measure the quality of algorithm?
     The primary factors that are often used to judge the quality of an algorithm are
     time requirement, memory requirement, and accuracy of solution.
5. What are the characteristics of an algorithm?
       1. In algorithms each and every instruction should be precise.
       2. In algorithms each and every instruction should be unambiguous.
       3. The instructions in an algorithm should not be repeated infinitely.
       4. Ensure that the algorithm will ultimately terminate.
       5. The algorithm should be written in sequence.
       6. It looks like normal English.
       7. The desired result should be obtained only after the algorithm terminates.
6. How many types the Algorithm can be represented?
   · Normal English
   · Program
   · Flowchart
   · Pseudo code
    · Decision table
7. What is decision table?
   A decision table is a table containing the selection of conditions to be tested and how
   those conditions should be nested to arrive at the proper action.
8. What is Flowchart?
    A Flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm. It is often used by
    programmer as a program planning tool for organizing a sequence of step necessary to
    solve a problem by a computer.
9. What is the need of Flowchart symbols?
     Each symbol of different shapes denotes different shapes denote different types of
     instructions. The program logic through flowcharts is made easier through the use of
     symbol that has standardized planning.
10. What is pseudo code?
    “Pseudo” means imitation of false and “code” refers to the instruction written in the
     programming language. Pseudo code is programming analysis tool that is used for
     planning program logic.
11. What is structured programming?
    A structured programming is a more specific approach to solve a
    programming problem by using only the three basic logic structures. They are sequence
    logic, selection logic and Iteration logic.
12. Draw the flowchart to find the maximum among three numbers (JAN  2009)

13. What are the rules for drawing a flowchart?
  · The standard symbols should only be used.
   · The arrowheads in the flowchart represent the direction of flow of control in the
   problem.
  · The usual direction of the flow of procedure is from top to bottom or left to right.
  · The flow lines should not cross each other.
  · Be consistent in using names and variables in the flowchart.
  · Keep the flowchart as simple as possible.
  · Words in the flowchart symbols should be common statements and easy to
     understand.
   · Chart main line of logic, and then incorporate all the details of logic.
   · If a new page is needed for flowcharting, then use connectors for better
      representation.
   · Don’t chart every details or the flowchart will only be graphical represented.
14. What is sequence logic?
   Sequence logic is used for performing instructions one after another in a
   sequence.
15. What is selection logic?
   Selection logic is used for selecting the process path out of two or more
   alternative paths in the program logic. It uses three control structures called if…then, if…
   then…else and switch…case.
16. What is Iteration logic?
  Iteration logic is used for producing loops in program logic when one or more
  instructions may be executed several times depending on some condition. It uses two
  control structures called do…while, and repeat…until.
17. What are the rules for writing pseudo code? (MAY
2010)
  · Write on statement per line.
  · Capitalize initial keywords.
  · Indent to show hierarchy.
