COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

What is Flowchart?

 A flowchart is a graphic representation of a procedure, system, or computer algorithm. They're

frequently utilized in a variety of fields to document, analyse, plan, enhance, and convey often
complex processes in clear, simple diagrams.

 A flowchart is a diagram that depicts the actions and decisions required to complete a process. A
diagram shape is used to represent each step in the sequence. Connecting lines and directional
arrows connect the steps. This allows anyone to look at the flowchart and follow the procedure
from start to finish.
