Flowchart

A programming language is a computer language used by programmers to develop software programs, scripts, or other sets of instructions for computers to execute. Common programming languages include BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, and Java. A flowchart is a graphical representation of a process, program, or algorithm showing the steps as boxes connected by arrows to illustrate the order of steps. Flowcharts are used to analyze, design, document, or manage processes in various fields. Benefits of flowcharts include visual clarity, instant communication, effective coordination, increased efficiency, effective problem analysis, and proper documentation.

Q-What is a programming language?

Ans:- A programming language is a computer language programmers use to develop


software programs, scripts, or other sets of instructions for computers to execute. The
term programming language usually refers to high-level languages, such as BASIC, C,
C++, COBOL, Java.

Q- Explain the use of Flowchart.

Ans:- 1. Visual Clarity:-One of the biggest benefits of a flowchart is the


tool's ability to visualize multiple progresses and their sequence into a
single document.
2. Instant Communication
Teams can use flowcharts to replace meetings.
3. Effective Coordination
4. Efficiency Increase
Efficiency increases are a significant benefit of flowcharts.
5. Effective Analysis
With the help of flowchart, problem can be analyzed in more effective way.
6. Problem Solving
Flowcharts break a problem up into easily definable parts.
7. Proper Documentation
Digital flowcharts serve as a good paperless documentation, which is needed
for various purposes, making things more efficient.
Q:-what is a flow chart?

Ans:- A flow chart is a graphical or symbolic representation of a process. Each step in the
process is represented by a different symbol and contains a short description of the process
step. The flow chart symbols are linked together with arrows showing the
process flow direction.

a graphical representation of a computer program in relation to its sequence of


functions
A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process. A flowchart can also be
defined as a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, a step-by-step approach to solving a
task.
The flowchart shows the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting the
boxes with arrows. This diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution model to a
given problem. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process
or program in various fields.[1]
Flowchart Symbols
Different flowchart shapes have different conventional meanings. The
meanings of some of the more common shapes are as follows:
Terminator

The terminator symbol represents the starting or ending point of the


system.

Process
A box indicates some particular operation.

Document

This represents a printout, such as a document or a report.

Decision

A diamond represents a decision or branching point. Lines coming out from


the diamond indicates different possible situations, leading to different
sub-processes.

Data

It represents information entering or leaving the system. An input might


be an order from a customer. Output can be a product to be delivered.

On-Page Reference

This symbol would contain a letter inside. It indicates that the flow
continues on a matching symbol containing the same letter somewhere else
on the same page.
Off-Page Reference

This symbol would contain a letter inside. It indicates that the flow
continues on a matching symbol containing the same letter somewhere else
on a different page.

Delay or Bottleneck

Identifies a delay or a bottleneck.

Flow

Lines represent the flow of the sequence and direction of a process.
