PROGRAM FLOWCHART

PROGRAM FLOWCHART 
 gives the steps of a process in a concise and better
way
 uses different shapes like rectangle and rhombus,
lines, with arrows, link the shapes
 to represent the sequence of coded instructions fed
into a computer, enabling it to perform specified
logical and arithmetical operations.
 It is a great tool to improve work efficiency. There are
four basic symbols in program flowchart, start,
process, decision and end. Each symbol represents a
piece of the code written for the program
Symbol Purpose Description
Used to indicate the flow of logic by
Flow line
connecting symbols.
Terminal(Stop/Star Used to represent start and end of
t) flowchart.
Input/Output Used for input and output operation.
Used for airthmetic operations and data-
Processing
manipulations.

Used to represent the operation in which

Desicion
there are two alternatives, true and false.

On-page

FLOWCHART
1.Program flowchart can help programmers to
find the bug in the process before carrying
out.
2.It
works as a blueprint when analyzing the
systems and developing programs, which
makes coding more efficient.
3.It
improves programmers’ efficiency in
maintaining the operating program.
4.Withthe help of program flowchart,
communicating the logic of a system to all
concerned gets much easier.
 Outline the processing logic
 Indicate
the order of processing
steps ( presents the steps in a
structured walk trough which
helps the viewers:
 Assess the soundness of logic
 Detect the correct design flaws
