How To Create A Flowchart

A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm using standard symbols. It shows the steps of a process from start to finish using shapes connected by arrows. The document discusses the basic components of a flowchart, including different symbols to represent input, processing, and output operations. It provides examples of how to take a problem and create a flowchart by breaking the problem down into individual statements and using the appropriate symbol for each step. The document also includes activities that instruct readers to create flowcharts for sample problems.

With a problem looked
at before

Let Us Create a
Flowchart

6
Problem -
Write a program accept the weights of
two people in pounds. It then
determines the total weight of the two
people. It then displays the Total Weight.

Problem -
Write a program accept the weights of two people
in pounds. It then determines the total weight of
the two people. It then displays the Total Weight.

8
When we are creating a
Flowchart we use the BODY of
the algorithm.

9
We then take each statement
from the BODY and use the
appropriate Shape.

Within the shape we insert the


statement.

10
Start

Start is the first statement so we


use the Terminator.

11
We then add a directional arrow.
Start
Read PerWeight1

Read PerWeight1 is the next statement


so we use the Parallelogram because this
is an input statement.
We then add a directional arrow.
Start
Read PerWeight1
Read PerWeight2

Read PerWeight2 is the next statement


so we use the Parallelogram because this
is an input statement.
We then add a directional arrow.
Start
Read PerWeight1
Read PerWeight2
TotalWeight PerWeight1 + PerWeight2

TotalWeight PerWeight1 + PerWeight2


is the next statement so we use the
Rectangle because this is a processing
statement.
We then add a directional arrow.
Start
Read PerWeight1
Read PerWeight2
TotalWeight PerWeight1 + PerWeight2
Print TotalWeight

Print TotalWeight is the next statement


so we use the Parallelogram because this
is an output statement.
We then add a directional arrow.
Start
Read PerWeight1
Read PerWeight2
TotalWeight PerWeight1 + PerWeight2
Print TotalWeight
Stop

Stop is the last statement so we use the


Terminator.
