Each algorithm can usually be represented by a set of straightforward steps, and programmers often use visual flowcharts to show their thought processes for solving each individual step with code.

Algorithms can be designed using pseudo-code and flowcharts. Part of Computer Science Understanding Computer Science Save to My BitesizeSave to My BitesizeSavingSavedRemovingRemove from My Bitesize ...

Flowcharts A flowchart is a diagram that shows an overview of an algorithm. Flowcharts use a variety of standard symbols to represent different elements, and arrows to show the flow or direction.

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.
