Flowcharting

The document discusses flowcharts and their components. A flowchart uses standard symbols to represent an algorithm. It shows the steps in a process or algorithm using common symbols like rectangles, diamonds, and arrows. Rectangles represent process steps, diamonds represent decisions, and arrows show the flow or direction. The document provides examples of flowcharts for simple processes like displaying text, calculating a sum, and getting user input. It also lists some exercises to create flowcharts for computing an average score and displaying a future age.

FLOWCHART

What is a Flowchart?
• Flowchart is a representation of the algorithm using standard
symbols.
• A flowchart is a graphical representation of a sequence of
operation.
• A flowchart contains symbols describing how an algorithm or
program operates.
• A flowchart has steps are linked by connecting lines and
directional arrow

A Flowchart looks like this


What are the symbols used in flowchart?
Terminal block Initialization block

Process block
Connector

Input/output Flow lines


block

Decision block
Flowchart Lines
➢ Flow lines indicated by straight lines with arrows to show
the direction of data flow
➢ Used to connect blocks by exiting from one and entering
another
Terminal Block
➢ Ovals or rounded rectangles are used to indicate the start
and the end of a module or program

START

END
Initialization Block
➢Used for declaring/initializing variables needed to
solve a certain process

DECLARATION
- stating a variables name to be used

INITIALIZATION
- to set (a starting value of a variable)
Initialization Block

DECLARATION INITIALIZATION

Num1, Num1=5
Num2 ,
Num2=3
Process Block
➢The rectangle indicates a processing block, for
such things as calculations, opening and closing
filers, and so fort

Sum=Num1+Num2
Input/Output Block
➢The parallelogram indicates input to and output operation

INPUT OUTPUT
Display
Get X X
Decision Block
➢The diamond indicates a decision
➢It has one entrance and exactly two exits from the block
➢One exit is the action when the result is TRUE and the other
exit its action when the result is FALSE

CONVENTION
T F TRUE FALSE
Conditi
on T F
YES NO
Action when Action when Y N
TRUE FALSE

Condition – a question or statement that gives you an answer of T/F or


YES/NO
Connectors
➢The circle is used as a connection point between two sections of a
flowchart that are not adjacent or closely located to each other!

A
NOTE:
– these connectors should used
as little as possible
- they should only be used to
enhanced readability. Overuse,
however, decreases readability
and procedures a cluttered
A effect.
Example:
1. Create a flowchart that display “Hello”.
START

Algorithm Print
“Hello”
1. Print “Hello”

END
Example
START

2. Create a flowchart that display


the sum of 2 and 5 Sum=0

Algorithm
1. Compute for the sum of 2 and 5;
Sum=2+5 Sum=2+5
2. Print Sum

Print Sum

END
START

Example: Sum=0;
3. Create a flowchart that ask the user Num1,
Num2
to enter two number. Compute and
display the sum. Enter
Num1;
Algorithm Enter
1. Enter 1st number Num2;
(num1)
2. Enter 2nd number Sum=Num1+Num
(num2) 2
3. Compute for the sum of
num1 and num2
Sum=num1+num2
Print Sum
4. Print Sum

END
Exercises:
Make an algorithm and a flowchart of the following:
1. Create a flowchart that will compute for
the average score of a student based on
three quizzes.

2. Create a Flowchart that ask the user’s


age. Compute and display his/her age five
years from now.
