FLOWCHART

BY: MILBERT B. BECHAYDA


WHAT IS A FLOWCHART?
Flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm. Programmers often use
it as a program-planning tool to solve a problem. It makes use of symbols which
are connected among them to indicate the flow of information and processing.
The process of drawing a flowchart for an algorithm is known as “flowcharting”.

Terminal: 

The oval symbol indicates Start, Stop and Halt in a program’s logic flow. A
pause/halt is generally used in a program logic under some error conditions.
Terminal is the first and last symbols in the flowchart.
