Study Notes

Understanding Flowcharts

A flowchart is a graphical representation of a sequence of steps or a process that uses symbols, arrows, and text to illustrate the flow of a program, algorithm, or process.

Symbols Used in Flowcharting

Common symbols used in flowcharting include:
- Oval or rounded rectangle for start or termination points
- Rectangle for processes or actions
- Diamond for decision-making points
- Parallelogram for input/output operations
- Arrow for direction of flow

Arrows in Flowcharts

Arrows in a flowchart represent the direction of the flow of the process or algorithm, indicating the sequence of steps.

Developing a Flowchart

Guidelines to keep in mind while developing a flowchart include:
- Use clear and concise labels for each step
- Keep the flowchart simple and easy to follow
- Use standard symbols and notation
- Test and refine the flowchart as needed

Purpose of a Flowchart

The purpose of a flowchart is to visualize and communicate the steps involved in a process or algorithm, making it easier to understand, analyze, and improve.
