Understanding Flowcharts in Computing

Flowcharts are diagrams that illustrate a sequence of steps in a process, utilizing specific shapes for input, process, and output. They require a defined start and stop point, and actions are performed sequentially. Additionally, flowcharts incorporate variables, which are named storage locations for data that can change over time.

What are Following flowcharts?
A flowchart is a diagram that shows a sequence of steps that should
be followed. Flowcharts contains computer algorithms and arrows
that lead in the process.
• There are specific shapes for different purposes:

Input – for the user to enter data


Process – to do a calculation or action
Output – the display words and numbers to the user.
There are two things that are important for the flow
chart to work.
A start and a stop.
(sometimes these might
be labelled with a “begin”
and “end”)

box.
Flowchart actions are to be performed one at a time.
In flowcharts, there are also variables. A variable is a named storage
location where you can store data. The data value change in a variable.
