FlowChart

BY : MOSTAFA ASHRAF .
 Flow chart definition :

* a diagram of the sequence of movements or actions of people or things involved in a 

complex system or activity.

* type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process. The flowchart shows the 
steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting the boxes with arrows. This
diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem. Flowcharts are
used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various
fields.
 Steps to develop a program

1- under stand the program . 

2- design the program (ex: by using flow chart ) 

3- code the program (ex: by using quick language ) 

4- compile the program 

5- test the program 

6- Debug the program 

7- correct the program if needed 

8- Document the program 

Flowchart symbols :
 Cont flowchart symbols :

1- ovel shape : terminal point : Each Flow chart starts and end with terminal point . 

2- rectangle shape : computer process : a process that’s performs any operation 

that doesn’t include user interaction computer it self (ex : mathematical & logical
operation).
3- parallelogram shap : input & output process : Indicates the process of inputting 
and outputting data, as in entering data or displaying results .
4- Diamond shap : Decision : Shows a conditional operation that determines which 
one of the two paths the program will take. The operation is commonly a yes/no
question or true/false test. Represented as a diamond.
5- Flow lines: Shows the process's order of operation. A line coming from one 
symbol and pointing at another. Arrowheads are added if the flow is not the
standard top-to-bottom, left-to right.
