Flowchart is a technique that allows you to represent computer program graphically. Using flowchart you can easily understand the logic of a program. A flowchart represents the logical and operational steps to be performed within the system for transforming the input process into output. Flowchart serves as a basis for discussion and communication between the system analysts and the programmers.
To create a flowchart, you need to use the following symbols:
The following table describes all the symbols:
SYMBOL | DESCRIPTION |
This symbol is used to represent the start and the end of an algorithm or process. | |
This symbol is used to represent the logic used in a process or algorithm. | |
This symbol is used to represent the input/output steps of a process. | |
This symbol is used to represent the conditional situation of a process. | |
This symbol is used to represent the flow of control in a process. |
While creating a flow chart you need to keep the following points in mind:
Start Stop
