4.  In a flowchart, a decision is represented by:

                      a)  Rectangle                                     b)  Oval

                      c)  Diamond                                       d)  Parallelogram

                  5.                      is a visual representation of an algorithm.

                      a)  Flowchart                                     b)  Rectangle
                      c)  Decision                                      d)  Process


            B.  Fill in the blanks


                       Arrow,   top,   bottom 1,   step-by-step,   parallelogram,   AL- Khwarizmi


                  1)  An algorithm is a set of                         instructions to solve a problem.

                  2)  The  word  algorithm  is  derived  from  the  name  of  the  Persian  mathematician



                  3)  Flowcharts usually flow from                            to
                  4)  A                     is used in a flowchart to represent input or output.

                  5)                      shows the direction of the flow.



            C.  Write T for true statements and F for false.

                  1)  Algorithms must end after a limited number of steps.

                  2)  Flowcharts can only be used in computer science, not in daily life.

                  3)  A recursive algorithm solves problems by calling itself with smaller inputs.

                  4)  The sum and average algorithm does not require any inputs.


                  5)  The oval shape in a flowchart represents a decision.


            D.  Answer the following questions
                  1)  Define an algorithm. List any three features of an algorithm.







                  2)  What is a flowchart? Explain its symbols and rules with examples.
