Control Flow Introduction Algorithm Description
In the Control Flow Introduction page, a flow chart for an algorithm to compute the factorial of a number is used as an example. The steps of this algorithm are:
- Start.
- Assign 1 to a; assign 1 to b.
- Test whether a is greater than n. If so, proceed to step 6.
- Assign the product ab to b.
- Assign the sum a + 1 to a. Proceed to step 3.
- Return b as the factorial.
- End.
