Representing an Algorithm using a flowchart

Flowcharts

A flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm.

Flowcharts for algorithms use the variables, constants and operators that are used in

pseudocode language, but linked together by different shapes that represent each type of step.

Drawing Flowcharts

The following steps will guide you in drawing a flowchart.

1. Go through the problem carefully and ensure that all the information needed to solve

the problem is available, such as the inputs, processing that needs to be done and the

outputs required.

2. Prepare a pseudocode algorithm so that you can get the steps

3. Arrange the steps in a logical order – the order in which the instructions should take

place.

4. Draw the flowchart for each step using the correct symbols or shapes and arrows to

indicate the direction of flow.
