Overview
An algorithm is a schematic drawing that helps organizing step by step approaches in a visually simplified way. An algorithm is formed by a set of boxes and lines that join them.
Step by Step Approach to Create an Algorithm
Introduction
- To begin an algorithm, you should start with the following code '''{{family tree/start}}''' and end it with {{family tree/end}}.
- You can name an algorithm by starting with following: {{family tree/summary= Name of the algorithm}}
- The algorithm consists of boxes that occupy virtual rows:
| Box 1 in Row 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Box 2 in Row 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Box 3 in Row 3 | Box 4 in Row 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
- Each row is represented by the following where each | | represents a space.:
''' {{Family tree | | | | | | | | | }} '''
- Each box is represented by the content that fills the space in | |
For example | A01 | will give:
| A01 | |||||||
- In order to link the boxes you need to use symbols. The basic symbols that you will most commonly use are the following:
- ! will link two boxes placed vertically on top of each other
- - will link two boxes placed horizontally next to each other
- ^ will link bifurcate a line arising from a box into two branches.
