Lesson

• a flowchart is just a sequence of steps to follow

• each shape in a flowchart has meaning

  • the "main" thread of the program gets a flowchart

  • each function gets its own flowchart

  • you do not show the declaration of variables in a flowchart

  • if there is any math, you always show the math

  • give them a title, so we know what they are showing
