Create Different Types of Flowchart

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

Did you know that flowchart is everywhere? Beyond computer programming, flowcharts have
many uses in many various fields like education, sales and marketing, business, manufacturing,
engineering and even in our daily activities.

Below is a quick example:

Let’s say you are tasked to clean your room then you have to list down the instruction wherein you
will be asked whether to dispose or save a thing. What will you do first?

What have you observe with the following phrases below?

Ask yourself: “Do I need this item?”

If the answer is No, then discard the item.
End
If the answer is Yes, then keep the item.
Start
Pick up an item.

The following are the steps in cleaning your room but this is not arranged in chronological order.

Directions: Rewrite below in the empty box the step by step process in cleaning your room. The phrases
to be filled in the box are given above.
 What have you observed with the following shapes below? Is it related with the steps in cleaning
your room? State your answer in 2-3 sentences on the space provided below.

This is an idea of step by step procedure on how to create a flowchart. A flowchart is the
illustration showing the flow of a program.

Start

Pick up an item.

Discard the item. No Ask yourself: Yes Keep the item.

“Do I need
this item?”

End

Techniques in creating a flowchart

1. Determine the elements of the program such as input, process, storage, logical, and output.
2. Use appropriate symbols and arrowhead to show the flow of the program.

3. All symbols of the flowchart are joined with arrows.

 4. Use easy words that can interpret even a novice programmer.

5. Each symbol should fill in the order of activities.

6. The execution of the flowchart is usually from uppermost to bottommost.

7. All flowcharts start and end with terminals symbol.

Types of Flowchart
The following are two types of flowchart according to use and application.
1. System Flowchart – it defines the order of procedures to do particular activity and the over-all
flow of data inside the system.
2. Program Flowchart – also known as standard diagram. Displays the movement of program to
answer the problems and create logical illustration of a program.
The following are the three types of control structures:

1. Sequence – the steps are positioned one after another and the demonstration of the program is
from uppermost to lowermost.

Start

Input/Outpu
t
Process

Input/Outpu
t

End

2. Branching (Selection or Decision)- choosing between two or more alternative actions. It is

usually represented by the “if-then” condition and answerable by true/false and yes/no. In
addition, it is represented by the diamond-shaped decision box.

Questio True
n

False
 3. Loop (Repetition) - allows a statement to be repeatedly executed until a condition is met based on
certain loop condition.

Process

Questio No

Yes
Below are the examples of Flowcharts with Algorithms that will help in understanding of
flowcharting techniques.
1. Your favourite subject is Mathematics and Basic Programming. You want to challenge yourself
on how you’re going to combine the two subjects with one activity. Then you suddenly think
about finding the Area and Perimeter of Square using flowchart.

Algorithm
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Enter Value of Length
Step 3: Area = Length x Length
Step 4: Perimeter = 4 x Length
Step 5: Show result of Area and Perimeter
Step 6: End

program. Example:
3 2 1 performs
Perimeter = 4 x Length calculation.

Notice there are three types of symbols

Show Result
used in this flowchart: Each symbol
represents a different type of operation.
End
This is an example of Sequence Flowchart. Statements are placed one after another and the execution is from upper to
lowest.
 2. Because of the pandemic also known as Covid - 19 happening around the world, a lot of people
are frightened with their health condition. As a programmer you are assigned to create a flowchart
that determines if a person has a fever or in normal body temperature.

Algorithm
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Enter temperature
Step 3: Check: If temperature is
Less than <37.5 oC then
Print: “You have a fever!”
Else
Print: “You don’t have a fever”
Step 4: End

Start Decision symbol

indicates a yes/no or
true/false question.
Enter temperature

False True
Temp.

“You don’t have a “You have a

End

This is an example of Branching (Selection) Flowchart where according to a condition, if temperature is <37.5 oC then TRUE
otherwise FALSE.

3. A simple decision making flowchart of waking up in the morning.

Algorithm
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Alarm rings
Step 3: Check: Ready to wake up?
If No, Will you be late? If No, Snooze 10 minutes then back to Step 2.
If No, Will you be late? If Yes, then continue to Step 4.
If Yes, then continue to Step 4.
 Step 4: Turn off alarm.
Step 5: Leave Bed.
Step 6: End

Loop structure represents part of the

Start program that repeats.

Alarm rings

Ready to No Wiil you No Snooze

wake be late?

Yes Yes 10 minutes

Turn off alarm

Leave bed

End

This is an example of Loop or Repetition Flowchart wherein the statements are being executed repeatedly
until the decision is done.
