What we do first flowchart or algorithm?

Flowcharts are used in designing and documenting simple processes or programs. Like other types of diagrams, they help visualize what is going on and thereby help understand a process, and perhaps also find less-obvious features within the process, like flaws and bottlenecks.

Start with algorithm. Then you can draw the flowchart. Flowchart is a diagrammatic way of representing an algorithm. So start with the algorithm.

I would suggest you to take the other way because algorithms may differ based on your problem. Make a flow chart and write down the requirements. See how are you going to solve the problem. See if a particular condition fails, in that case you can easily switch to a different algorithm. Who knows, you might end up writing a whole new algorithm which might work just right for the problem you have to solve. Just an opinion.
