What is a Flowchart?
● A flowchart is a diagram (= simple plan) that shows the stages of a
process. (Ref. Cambridge Dictionary)
● A flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of a sequence of logical
steps of a program.
● It visually represents the sequential flow of operations or decisions in
a program, algorithm, or workflow using symbols and arrows.

6
Flowchart Symbols
There are 6 basic symbols commonly used in Flowchart such as:
1. Terminal
2. Input/Output
3. Process
4. Decision
5. Connector
6. Control Flow
7
1. Terminal

o Indicates the starting or ending of the algorithm.


o We draw a terminal symbol and write START inside it to indicate the
start of the flowchart.
o Similarly, we draw a terminal symbol and write STOP inside it to
indicate the end of the flowchart.
8
2. Input/output

o Use for Input/Output (I/O) operation i.e., taking input and


showing output.

9
3. Process

o Indicates any type of operations like initialization, calculation,


arithmetic, logical, relational, etc.

10
4. Decision

o Use for asking questions that can have either TRUE or FALSE
(YES or NO) as an answer.
o Example: Are you online?
=> The answer can be either YES or NO.
11
5. Connector

o Connectors are used to connect breaks in the flowchart.


o If a flowchart takes more than one page, then to connect the
flowchart between pages we use the connector.

12
5. Control Flow

o This shows the direction of flow.


o Flow lines in a flowchart illustrate the precise sequence of
instruction execution, with arrows indicating the direction of
flow between steps.
13
Flowchart Rules
Ø The flowchart is generally drawn from top to bottom.
Ø All boxes of flowcharts must be connected with an arrow.
Ø All flowcharts start with a Terminal or Process symbol.
Ø Decision symbols have 2 exit points, one for YES (TRUE) and
another for NO (FALSE).
