Flowchart Components and Rules

Flowcharts are pictorial representations that use geometric shapes and arrows to show the logical sequence and flow of a computer program. The shapes represent different operations, and arrows connect them to illustrate the program's logic and flow from top to bottom or left to right. Rules for effective flowcharting include using arrowheads to indicate flow of information, avoiding crossing lines that do not connect logically, and referring to connections between multiple pages or parts of a chart.

What are flowcharts?


Flowcharts are pictorial representations of a program , in which
sequence of steps are placed out in logical order.
In a flowchart different operations are represented by drawing
geometrical shapes. These flowchart symbols are connected by
arrows to show the flow of logic in the program..
Rules of flowcharting
The rules followed in the flowcharting are:
Rule no: 1 The general direction of flow in any flowchart is from
top to bottom or from left to right.
Rule no: 2 Arrowheads are used to indicate the flow of information
or sequence of events.
Rule no: 3 crossing flow lines do not show that there is any logical
connection between those lines.
Rule no: 4 when drawing a flowchart on more than one sheet of
paper, the connection joining different papers (or parts of a chart
within one page) must be referred.
