Flow Chart PPS

The document discusses flowcharts, which use simple shapes and arrows to depict program logic and data flow. It provides symbols used in flowcharts like start/stop, process, input/output, and decision. Guidelines are given for developing flowcharts like having one start and stop, using numbers for on-page connectors, and general flow being top to bottom or left to right.

Flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of sequence of logical steps of a program.

Flowcharts use simple geometric shapes to depict processes and arrows to show
relationships and process/data flow.

Flowchart Symbols
Here is a chart for some of the common symbols used in drawing flowcharts.

Symbol Symbol Name Purpose

Used at the beginning and end of the algorithm to


Start/Stop
show start and end of the program.

Indicates processes like mathematical operations.


Process

Input/ Output Used for denoting program inputs and outputs.

Stands for decision statements in a program,


where answer is usually Yes or No.
Decision

Shows relationships between different shapes.


Arrow

Connects two or more parts of a flowchart, which


are on the same page.
On-page Connector
Connects two parts of a flowchart which are
spread over different pages.
Off-page Connector

Guidelines for Developing Flowcharts

These are some points to keep in mind while developing a flowchart −


• Flowchart can have only one start and one stop symbol
• On-page connectors are referenced using numbers
• Off-page connectors are referenced using alphabets
• General flow of processes is top to bottom or left to right
• Arrows should not cross each other

Example Flowcharts
Here is the flowchart for going to the market to purchase a pen.

Here is a flowchart to calculate the average of two numbers.
