Flowchart In Programming
Flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm. Flowchart are very helpful in
writing program and explaining program to others.

Symbols Used In Flowchart

Different symbols are used for different states in flowchart, For example: Input/Output and
decision making has different symbols. The table below describes all the symbols that are used in
making flowchart
Symbol Purpose Description
Used to indicate the flow of logic by connecting
Flow line
symbols.

Terminal(Stop/Start) Used to represent start and end of flowchart.

Input/Output Used for input and output operation.

Processing Used for airthmetic operations and data-manipulations.

Used to represent the operation in which there are two

Desicion
alternatives, true and false.

On-page Connector Used to join different flowline

Off-page Connector Used to connect flowchart portion on different page.

Predefined Used to represent a group of statements performing one

Process/Function processing task.

Examples of flowcharts in programming

Draw a flowchart to add two numbers entered by user.

Draw flowchart to find the largest among three different

numbers entered by user.
Draw a flowchart to find all the roots of a quadratic
equation ax2+bx+c=0

Draw a flowchart to find the Fibonacci series till term≤1000.

Though, flowchart is useful in efficient coding, debugging and analysis of a program, drawing
flowchart in very complicated in case of complex programs and often ignored.

Q  Finding Prime Numbers Flow Chart - RFFlow

A Flow Chart for Finding

Prime Numbers
Descriptio Prime numbers are positive
n themselves. By definition, n
numbers. The list of the firs

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23,

you can divide 5 by 1 evenl
divide 5 by any other intege

5/1 = 5
5/2 = 2 plus a remainder
5/3 = 1 plus a remainder
5/4 = 1 plus a remainder
5/5 = 1
5/6 = 0 plus a remainder
...   = 0 plus a remainder

Now look at the number 4 w

4/1 = 4
4/2 = 2
4/3 = 1 plus a remainder
4/4 = 1
4/5 = 0 plus a remainder
...  = 0 plus a remainder

The number 4 can be divide

The flowchart shown above

returns whether it is prime o
"IsThisNumberPrime."  Firs
Then it checks to make sure
integers, 0, and 1 are not co

Next the function tries to div

forth, to see if it divides any
input number is divided eve
the input number.
 You give the function a number and the output is "Yes" if the number is prime, or
"No" if it is not.

Now suppose you want to calculate the first 100 prime numbers. A flowchart to
show that process is shown below.

The flowchart above starts with the number 2 and checks each number 3, 4, 5, and
so forth. Each time it finds a prime it prints the number and increments a counter.
When the counter hits 100, it stops the process. To determine whether a number is
prime, it calls the function "IsThisNumberPrime" which is shown at the top of this
page.

The first few primes are quickly calculated, but as the primes get further apart the
computation time increases. Finding large primes is a task for super computers.

Once RFFlow is installed, you can open the above charts in RFFlow.  Click on
prime-numbers.flo for the top flow chart or finding-prime-numbers.flo for the
bottom flow chart. From there you can zoom in, edit, and print these sample charts.
It is often easier to modify an existing chart than to draw it from scratch.

if else statement and flowchart

Decision Control Statements and Flowchart

The if Statement
It is used to execute an instruction or sequence/block of
instruction only if a condition is fulfilled.
Difference forms of implements if-statement are:

 Simple if statement
 if-else statement
 Nested if-else statement
 else if statement

Figure: Simple if statement syntax and flowchart

Figure: if-else statement syntax and flowchart

Nested if-else statement

In nested if...else statement, an entire if...else
construct is written within either the body of the if
statement or the body of  an else statement.
The syntax is as follows:
if(condition_1)
{
 if(condition_2)
 {
   block statement_1;
 }
 else
 {
   block statement_2;
 }
}
else
{
  block statement_3;
}
block statement_4;

Figure: nested if-else statement flowchart

Else if statement
It is used in multi-way decision on several conditions.
This works by cascading comparisons. As soon as one of
the conditions is true, the statement or block of
statements following them is executed and no further
comparison are performed.
The else...if syntax is as follows:

if(condition_1)
  block statement_1;
else if(condition_2)
  block statement_2;
else if(condition_n)
  block statement_n;
else
  default statement;

Factorial C program,Algorithm,Flowchart
Q. Write a C program to find the factorial value of a
number. Also write the algorithm and draw flowchart.

Ans.

/*c program to find out factorial value of a number*/

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
 int n,i,fact=1;
 printf("Enter any number : ");
 scanf("%d", &n);
 for(i=1; i<=n; i++)
    fact = fact * i;
 printf("Factorial value of %d = %d",n,fact);
 return 0;
}

The output of above program would be:

Algorithm for calculate factorial value of a number:

[algorithm to calculate the factorial of a number]

step 1. Start
step 2. Read the number n
step 3. [Initialize]
        i=1, fact=1
step 4. Repeat step 4 through 6 until i=n
step 5. fact=fact*i
step 6. i=i+1
