Week 28: December 8-12 Applying Flow Charts

Hi!

      Here are some examples on our flow charts..

        Each symbol has its own function within the program. Each symbol represents a piece of the code written for the program. The Start/End symbol can be used to represent either the beginning or ending of a program. The symbol for Process allows you to show how the program is functioning, like when you need the program to calculate two numbers or even analyze the information.

     When you decide to enter data, show it on the screen, or print it to paper, you use the Input/Outputsymbol. The Display symbol signifies that information is displayed to the user.

    There are many other symbols frequently used in flowcharts. The Decision symbol is used for things like If Statements, where you must choose an option based on a specified criteria. A decision question may be something as simple as If the grade is at least 70 then send out the messagePassing to the screen. Otherwise, send Failing to the screen.
