Flow Charts & Branching Diagrams
A flowchart (also called a branching diagram) is a visual representation of the processes in a computer program or algorithm. It shows how different actions are performed depending on specified conditions. Coders often use flow charts to plan complex programs.
Flowcharts are used to show the processes in program. The different shapes mean different things.
Flowcharts can assist in planning the processing that has to happen in an algorithm. We use specific symbols for each action.
The terminator (oval) is used at the start or end to indicate where the code should begin and stop
The process rectangle should be use every time the computer needs to do something.
The Rhombus (diamond) indicates a decision such as an if statement.
