Abstract
The definition of an algorithm is to describe a problem into a sequence of systematic steps in solving problems. Arranging the algorithm in sequence from beginning to end so that it can solve the problem. The results of the implementation of the algorithm are programs. So the purpose of making an algorithm is to facilitate the making of the program. There are 2 types of algorithms, 1) Text (narration and pseudocode), 2) Visual / image (flowchart). Comparison between the two, students understand it which is higher between the text or visual model. This study aims to see how much infuence the value of students understands the algorithm in text or in an image. In conclusion, students are easier to understand the types of algorithms in an image. The test uses the sample T test, with a 5% significance level obtained value = 0.5. This means that the t count is greater than t table of 2.06390
Keywords: algorithm, pseudocode, flowchart, t test
