- Difference Between Algorithm and Flowchart - GeeksforGeeks (Article) — A short comparison table defining what an algorithm is versus a flowchart. This exact comparison is a common short-answer question, so it is worth reading once and remembering the table format.
- NPTEL Week 1 - Introduction to Problem Solving through Programs (Article) — Frames algorithmic problem solving as the step before writing any actual C code.
- What is an Algorithm? Introduction to Algorithms (GeeksforGeeks) (Article) — Defines what an algorithm is, lists the properties every good algorithm must have, and shows simple everyday examples.
- Introduction to Flowcharts - GeeksforGeeks (Article) — Gives the flowchart rules (start and end keywords, arrow connections, decision points with two or more outcomes) and a worked example. Learn the rules; examiners deduct marks for wrong symbols.
