This document discusses algorithms, flowcharts, and pseudocode used in programming and computation. It provides examples of an algorithm to find the largest number in a list and the corresponding pseudocode. The general steps for programming in physics are outlined, including finding a physical problem, developing mathematical models and equations, making an algorithm, flowchart, and pseudocode, and then developing a computer program to solve the problem.

Pseudo Code
A bridge between algorithm and actual coding
Input: A list of numbers a[N]
largest = a[0]
for each item in a, do
if item > largest, then largest = item
Output: The largest number in the list a[N]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/01algorithm-211013002213/85/SPSF01-Algorithm-6-320.jpg)

- 2. 2 Algorithm Logical steps to solve a problem, that’s it! A process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. A finite sequence of well-defined, computer-implementable instructions, typically to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.
- 3. 3 Algorithm Sample problem Find the largest number in a list of numbers of random order 39, 7, 68, 55, 3 Algorithm Assume the first number in the set is the largest number in the set. For each remaining number in the set: if this number is larger than the current largest number, consider this number to be the largest number in the set. When there are no numbers left in the set to iterate over, consider the current largest number to be the largest number of the set.
