Question

This are the question that i need to know::
Define the following:
1.Algorithms
2.Data Structures
3.Pseudocode
4.Flowcharting

Pls. and thank you!!!!

Answer 1

1.algorithm: A computable set of steps to achieve a desired result.


2.Data struture:A conceptual unity or an organized information such as name & address of a person, tree, automatic telephone operating sytem.

3.Pseudocode:Pseudocode is a kind of structured english for describing algorithms. It allows the designer to focus on the logic of the algorithm without being distracted by details of language syntax

4.Flow chart:A flowchart illustrates the steps in a process. By visualizing the process, a flowchart can quickly help identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies where the process can be streamlined or improved.

Answer 2

1.Algorithms: (Mathematics) step-by-step procedure used to solve a problem (often includes repetition of steps); step-by-step problem-solving procedure used within software applications (Computers)

2.Data Structures: Such as tree, stack, graph, linked lists, etc. (check wikipedia.com for this one)

3. These are not real codes in a program; like "if..then" in C++, & compiler doesn't compile them; but still they're necessary for your program, like "begin", "end." in Pascal or "{...}" in C++ .

4.Flowchart: diagram which details the movement and operations performed within a system - A Flowchart is a diagram that is produced to show the steps in a particular process. The flowchart will show what are the inputs outputs in each of the steps. Flowcharts are frequently used to show diagrammatically what processes certain computer programs perform. (The diagram type of an algorithm.)

Answer 3

Well, you could use a search engine or a good old fashion dictionary I suppose.

Answer 4

you can always search for the meaning of that through any search engine..just write the word and then maybe "definition" and poof..you have homework..

Answer 5

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

type in the words and you get the definitions

Answer 6

try wikipedia.org
