Diagraming

Overall Structure

• The diagram represents the logic of an alarm clock with snooze functionality.

• It uses standard flowchart shapes:

  • Ovals for Start and End.

  • Parallelograms for input/output (e.g., “Set Alarm” and display messages).

  • Rectangles for processes (e.g., “Set Snooze Counter = 0”).

  • Diamonds for decisions (e.g., “Wake Up?” and “If snooze counter = 0”).

Flow Description

1. Start → Set Alarm → Set Snooze Counter = 0 → Alarm Rings.

2. Decision: Wake Up?

   • YES: Climb out of bed → Check snooze counter:

     • If snooze counter = 0 → Display: “Congratulations You Woke up Without Using the Snooze” → End.

     • Else → Display: “You Snoozed X Times Before Waking Up” → End.

   • NO: Hit Snooze Button → Increment snooze counter → Snooze for 15 minutes → Loop back to Alarm Rings.
