Difference b/w Flowchart and Algorithm:

Flowchart:

1. Standard symbols are used to design flowchart.
2. Flowchart is more time-consuming.
3. It is difficult to modify.
4. It is a graphical representation of solution.

Algorithm:

1. Simple English is used to write algorithm.
2. Algorithm is less time-consuming. 
3. It is easier to modify.
4. It is a step-by-step procedure to solve a problem.

Example 1:

                 Algorithm of sum of  2 numbers :

1. Start

2. Input 1st number

3. Input 2nd number

4. Total = 1st number + 2nd number

5. Display Total

6. Exit

Example 2:

                 Algorithm to calculate a the area of circle :

1. Start

     2.  Input radius

     3.  area = 3.14*radius*radius

     4.  Print area

     5.  Exit
