Flowchart

Process

A rectangle is used to represent the processing symbol.Arithematic operations such as addition,substraction,multiplication,division as well as assigning a value to a variable are expressed using this symbol.Process symbol has one entry flow and one exit flow

Terminal

As the name indicates it is used to indicate the begining and ending in the programme logic.It is the first symbol and last symbol .It has the shape of an ellipse

ADVANTAGES OF FLOW CHART

Better communication effective analysis effective synthesis efficient coding

Disadvantages OF FLOW CHART

Difficult to represent complex processes Difficult to understand for novice users

Draw.io

Name of the online website to create flowcharts

flow lines

Flow lines with arrow heads are used to indicate the flow of operation,that is the exact sequence in which operation has to be executed.The normal flow is from top to bottom and left to right but sometimes it can be from right to left and bottom to top

code.org

Name of website to do coding

Data Storage

Indicates a step where data gets stored. For Example "Save Orders"

Flowchart

Pictorial respresentation of an algorithm with specific symbols for showing the sequence of operation is known as flowchart.It is primarly used as an aid in formulating and understanding algorithms.Flowcharts commonly use some basic geometric shapes to denote different types of instructions and the actual instruction are written with this box using clear and concise statement

Input or Output

The parallelogram is used as the input or output symbol.It denotes the functions of input and output DEVICE IN THE PROGRAMME.All the input or output instructions are expressed using this symbol.It will be attached from entry flow and one exit flow

Flowchart symbols

The representation of program logic through flowchart is made easier by the use of symbols that have standardized means

Decision

The rhombus is used as a decision symbol and it is used to indicate a point to which decision has to be made.A branch to one or more alternative points is possible here.All the possible exit paths will be specified but only one of this will be selected on the base of the result of the decison.It has one entry flow and two exit flows

connector

when flow chart become bigger the flow lines start at many places causing confusion and reducing comprehension of the flow chart
