Good Afternoon everybody, let me introduce myself, my name is Endras and here, in this
occasion I want to tell you about flowchart. I’ll describe you about the definition, function,
symbols, characteristic and also the implementation.
I’d like with the definition first. Flowchart is a sequence of activity processes that are
depicted in symbolic form. Flowcharts are also defined as diagrams stating the process flow
using annotations such as square, arrow, oval, diamond, etc. Through the flowchart, we can
see the process steps in detail, complete with the activities that occur. Flowcharts are widely
used as communication and documentation tools.The program flowchart has 4 functions, the
four flowchart functions are among others :
1. Ensuring the Program Has Its Own Flow
Flowchart can help the programmer to see the flow or pattern when it will build a program /
application.
2. See the Overall Program
Flowchart helps you see a whole (universal) program. This will make it easier for anyone to
see the design of a program, not only for programmers.
3. Viewing the Process of a Program When Run
Program flowcharts can be used to see processes that will occur when the program is run.
That is, you can see an explanation of each process in the program.
4. Guidelines in Developing or Developing Applications
The function of the next program flowchart is to become a guide in developing or developing
applications.
The flowchart has its own symbols for each geometry annotations, be like :
-Terminal Point Symbol shows the start (start) or end (stop) of a process.
-Flow Direction Symbol is a symbol that is used to connect between one symbol and another
(connecting line).
-Processing Symbol is used to indicate the activities performed by a computer
-Decision Symbols Decisions are symbols used to choose a process or decision based on
existing conditions.
-Incoming Inputs / Symbols indicate the input-output process that occurs without depending
on the type of equipment.
-Predefined Process / Symbol Defined Process is a symbol used to indicate the
implementation of a part of a procedure (sub-process).
-Connector (On-page)
This symbol function is to simplify the relationship between symbols that are far apart or
complicated when connected with lines on one page
-Connector (Off-page)
Just like on-page connector, only I use this symbol to connect symbols in different pages.
