What do you mean by the term flowchart?

A flowchart is a diagram that shows sequence of steps required to solve a particular

problem. It is a logical flow of steps which shows sequence of operations of a program by
using symbols and inter-connectivity lines. It is like a blueprint that shows the general plan
and essential details of the proposed structure. It allows the programmer to compare
different approaches and alternatives on paper and often shows inter-relationships that are
not immediately apparent.

Types of flow charts

Flow Chart Type Explanation

Document Flowchart It traces the physical flow of documents
through the organization, i.e. between
departments, or individuals. It focuses on
tangible documents.
System Flowchart It depicts the electronic flow of data and
processing steps in an information system.
Program Flowchart It is most detailed and concerned with the
logical and arithmetic operations of data and
flow of data from input to processing and
finally in the form of output.

Advantages

 Quicker grasp of relationships

 Effective analysis- as this act as blue print of a system through which analysis can be
carried out
 Communication
 Documentation – It serves as good documentation for future changes, as well as in
the event of staff changes it acts as training tool by helping new employees in
understanding the existing programs.
 Efficient coding-acts as guide during system analysis and program preparation
phase. Instruction coded can be check against flowchart to ensure that no steps are
omitted.
 Orderly check out of problem –detecting locating and removing mistakes
 Efficient programme maintenance- helps in identify which part of information flow is
to be modified

Limitations of using Flowchart.

 Complex logic makes the flowchart more complex, clumsy.

 If modification is required we may require complete redrawing.
 Reproduction of flowchart is a problem as symbols cannot be typed.
 It is difficult to establish linkage between various conditions and actions.
 Lack of standardisation
