FLOWCHART

• FLOWCHART It consists of boxes with different shapes that contain simple statements or sentence commonly called instructions and connect together by lines.
• System Flowchart (Process Chart) It indicates a flowchart for a targeted system.
• Program Flowchart Used to describe processing procedures based on detailed analysis.
• INPUT/OUTPUT SYMBOL This parallelogram is used for INPUT and OUTPUT instructions
• TERMINAL SYMBOL OVAL Indicates the starting or ending of the program.
• Input means to enter data into a computer or to use the computer to read available data from storage drives
• Output means to display the result of compilation or condition of the given solution.
• PROCESS SYMBOL rectangle is used for any data processing operations for which requirements of the problem are usually done here. Indicates any type of internal operations like initialization, calculations, etc.

• SEQUENTIAL STRUCTURE Steps are performed in a strictly sequential manner. Each step being executed exactly once. It is the simplest method of control. It is easy to develop and understand.
• SELECTION STRUCTURE One of several alternative actions is selected and executed. It involves the use of decision based on the given condition. It uses decision block or the diamond shaped block. Alternative action will be represented by a processing block.
• REPETITION STRUCTURE One or more steps performed repeatedly looping
• ARROWS/FLOWS LINES Arrows are used to direct the flow of the flowchart. It shows the flow of the solution.
• ALGORITHM/ PSEUDO CODE Is a set or series of instruction for carrying a task. It is similar with a paragraph that expresses a single thought and uses English language.
• ALGORITHM /PSEUDO CODE It is a mixture of language and symbols, terms and other feature commonly used one or more high-level languages
