Engr. Jenn P. Cabale Lecture 5 – DECISION FLOWCHARTING 2

 Objectives
• Apply decision making in flowcharting

• Write and analyze programs using conditional symbols

Engr. Jenn P. Cabale Lecture 5 – DECISION FLOWCHARTING 3

 Decision Application
• Decision application in flowcharting is implemented using a decision symbol.

• It is the sole symbol in flowcharting that has the ability to perform relational
operations that can filter conditions to arrive at a decision.

• It has a single input and two-output choices characteristic.

• The two-output characteristics of the symbol is the filtering stage of a program

that determines if the set condition in the decision symbol is either TRUE or
FALSE.

 Examples:
1. Create a flowchart that will accept two integers. If the integers are
equal, print the sum of the integers, otherwise print the product.

2. Create a flowchart that will input unique integers for A, B, and C and
print the highest integer.

 Switch
• Switch provides the decision symbol the path where the program should
pass. It also drives and forces a program to execute processes to meet
unique problem requirements. The implementation of switch id through
variables. Variable is used to set a condition in the decision symbol.

 Example:
1. Enter 10 numbers and print the highest and the lowest number.

2. Enter 10 numbers and print the 7th number and the sum of the 8th, 9th,
and 10th numbers.
