8 Algorithm simplifies the modification and updating of the existing program.

               8 Algorithm  should  express  the  steps  of  the  program  in  the  manner  they  are
                    processed.
               8  The process of drawing a flowchart from algorithm is known as flowcharting.

               8 A rectangle indicates the processing, computation and arithmetic operations.
