    Block Diagrams Explained

    • A primary purpose of a block diagram is to provide a simplified, high-level visual representation of a system or process.
    • A block diagram typically includes elements such as blocks, arrows, and labels.
    • A block in a block diagram typically represents a component, process, or function within the system.
    • Block diagrams are most beneficial when simplifying complex systems, conveying a general overview, or illustrating the interaction between components.
    • Block diagrams differ from flowcharts in that they focus on the relationships and interactions between system components, while flowcharts describe the sequential steps of a process.
