Loops

An iteration flowchart is used to visualize the repeating flow of a program loop. It shows the start and end of the loop, the condition to terminate the loop, and the steps in each loop iteration. The main benefits are improved code clarity, avoiding repetition, increased productivity, better data processing and error detection. Key elements typically include start, input, process, decision, output, and end nodes. While useful, iteration flowcharts can also be complex, time-consuming to create and maintain.

Loops/Iteration

- Iteration in programming means repeating steps, or instructions , over and over again.


- This is often called a 'loop'

An iteration flowchart is a type of flowchart that specifically represents the iteration, or


repeating, aspect of a program. It is used to visualize the flow of control through a loop or
series of repeating steps in a program.

An iteration flowchart typically includes the start and end of the loop, as well as the condition
that determines when the loop will terminate. It also shows the steps involved in each iteration
of the loop, and the flow of control between the steps.

WHY USE ITERATION FLOWCHART?

- The main goal of an iteration flowchart is to provide a visual representation of how a loop
operates, and to make it easier to understand the logic behind the code. By visualizing the flow
of control through the loop, iteration flowcharts can help identify potential errors or bugs, and
improve the readability and maintainability of code.

Example

An iteration flow chart typically consists of the following elements:

1. Start: This represents the beginning of the iteration process.


2. Input: This is where the initial data or inputs are received.
3. Process: This is where the code or operation to be repeated is executed.
4. Decision: This is where a condition is checked to determine whether the iteration should
continue or end.
5. Output: This is where the results of the iteration process are outputted.
6. End: This represents the end of the iteration process.

The iteration process begins at the Start and continues until the condition in the Decision element is
met. If the condition is true, the iteration continues and the process element is executed again, and if it
is false, the iteration ends, and the output is produced. The iteration process continues in this manner
until the desired number of iterations is reached. (Kahit wag na isama)

Benefits of using Iteration Flowchart

- Improved Code Clarity


- Avoid Repetition
- Increased Productivity
- Better Data Processing
- Better Error Detection
- Reusability

Overall, iteration flowcharts are a valuable tool for improving the quality, efficiency, and maintainability
of code, making them an important component of the software development process.

While iteration flowcharts have many benefits, there are also some disadvantages to using them

Disadvantages of using iteration flow chart

- Complexity
- Time-Consuming
- Maintenance
- Limited Use
- Limited Portability

Overall, while iteration flowcharts have many benefits, it is important to consider the specific needs of a
project and the level of complexity involved before deciding to use them. In some cases, other
approaches, such as comments or inline documentation, may be more effective in improving code clarity
and readability.

Flowchart

A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a process or workflow as a sequence of


interconnected steps, typically using boxes and arrows to represent tasks, decisions, and the
flow of control between them. Flowcharts are used in a wide range of fields and applications,
including business and administrative processes, software development, and engineering
design.

- A flowchart is a graphical representation of a process or algorithm


- In programming, flowcharts are used to represent the structure of a program and the flow of
control
- Uses symbols and shapes to visualize steps and decisions involved in a process
