FLOWCHART AND

PSEUDOCODE

WHAT IS A FLOWCHART
• A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process. A flowchart can also
be defined as a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, a step-by-step approach to
solving a task.
• They are widely used in multiple fields to document, study, plan, improve and communicate
often complex processes in clear, easy-to-understand diagrams.
4 COMMON TYPES OF FLOWCHART
THE PROCESS FLOWCHART
• It illustrates how a process works or plan a project.
• Use a process flow diagram to:
I. Map out roles and responsibilities within an organization to gain clarity.
II. Describe the manufacturing process or inputs that go into creating a finished product.
III. Draw up a proposal for a new process or project to understand its scope and steps.
EXAMPLE
THE WORKFLOW CHART OR
WORKFLOW DIAGRAM
• To understand how data and documents flow within your organization.
• This type of workflow diagram can be used to:
I. train new employees
II. discover potential problem areas
III. create or organize your team around a new standard operating procedure
IV. clarify business operations by showing a high-level overview
EXAMPLE
THE SWIMLANE FLOWCHART
• It describes how separate departments, processes or employees interact.
• The swimlane flowchart comes in handy when you need to show multiple flows of
information side by side. Swimlane diagrams might sound really similar to a workflow
diagram, but the key here is that it allows you to create different categories where activity
takes place.
EXAMPLE
THE DATA FLOWCHART
• An efficient way of bridging the communication gap between system developers and users.
They are specialized flowcharts that distill a substantial amount of information into a
relatively few symbols and connectors.
• To see where data flows in and out of an information system.

WHAT IS PSEUDOCODE?
• In computer science, pseudocode is a plain language description of the steps in an algorithm
or another system. Pseudocode often uses structural conventions of a normal programming
language, but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading.
• is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms.
Pseudocode is a "text-based" detail (algorithmic) design tool.

FLOWCHART AND PSEUDOCODE
HOW TO CREATE A FLOWCHART
• Determine the purpose or function of the flowchart
• Add steps and connect them with arrows
• Add decisions or split paths
• Show any loops back to previous steps
• Insert your flowchart into Microsoft Word®, Excel®, PowerPoint® or any other app
HOW TO CREATE A PSEUDOCODE
• Use a plain-text editor.
• Start by writing down the purpose of the process.
• Write only one statement per line.
• Use white space and indentation effectively.
• Capitalize key commands if necessary.
• Write using simple terminology.
• Keep your pseudocode in the proper order.
• Leave nothing to the imagination.
• Use standard programming structures.
• Organize your pseudocode sections.
• Double-check your pseudocode for readability and clarity.
