Abstract

Systematic solution of a problem is possible with sequential, unambiguous and realizable finite process step set. This set is called "algorithm" and it is one of the most important part of the programming languages. In this study, it is represented how to learn algorithm by using Simulink Stateflow. In flow diagram-based algorithm learning, it is not possible for students to check the solution of a given problem and related parameters without coding the algorithm for the problem. Whereas traditional algorithm learning methods, Simulink Stateflow-based algorithm learning method enables student to check the validity of processing steps without coding. Hence, Simulink Stateflow-based algorithm learning is much more effective than the traditional algorithm learning.
