How can an algorithm be represented?
A
As a flowchart only
B
As pseudocode only
C
As a flowchart or pseudocode
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Writing in pseudocode is similar to writing in a programming language. Each step of the algorithm is written on a line of its own in sequence. Usually, instructions are written in uppercase, variables in lowercase and messages in sentence case. In pseudocode, INPUT asks a question.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pseudocode is a form of Structured English for writing an algorithm. It uses programming-style constructs, but is not written in an actual programming language. You do not need to worry about the detailed syntax or be precise about how the code will complete a particular task.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rules of Drawing Flowcharts for Algorithms Some of the most standard symbols include shapes like a rectangle representing an operation, a parallelogram showing input and output of data, a cylinder indicating the start/end, while a diamond represents a decision.

Detailed explanation-4: -Algorithm and flowcharts help us to create new programs, specifically in computer programming. These tools are very helpful for programmers as they allow the programmer to analyze the entire programming process stepwise.
