APF

• Algorithm: set of well defined instructions in sequence to solve a program (SPECIFIC TEXT)
• Ambiguity: presence of 2 or more possible interpretations in a single passage
• Flowchart: simple geometric symbols and arrows that represents a sequence of logic and define relationships (VISUAL)
• Pseudocodes: artificial and informal language that help programmers to develop algorithms (GENERAL TEXT)
• Variable: a value that can change
• Finiteness: exact number of statements
• Absence of Ambiguity: statements are clearly described and defined
• Sequence of Execution: sequence of statements are done from bottom to top
• Input and Output: unknown values must be identified and exact outputs must be defined always
• Effectiveness: solution to the problem must be correct
• Scope of Definition: identify the scope of the problem
• Oval: start/end
• Arrows: connector
• Parallelogram: input/output
• Rectangle: process
• Diamond: decision
