Algorithms - Eduqas Designing algorithms with flowcharts Algorithms are step-by-step plans for solving problems. They are a starting point when writing a program.

One way of writing an algorithm is as a flowchart. Flowcharts use symbols to represent how the system works and help the programmer come up with the right set of instructions.

To clear things up, I drew you this flowchart on the back of an envelope so you can work out whether something is using AI or not. This originally appeared in our AI newsletter The Algorithm.
