FLOWCHARTS

The Flowchart
 A graphical representation of the sequence of operations
in an information system or program.
 Information system flowcharts show how data flows from
source documents through the computer to final
distribution to users.
 Program flowcharts show the sequence of instructions
in a single program.
 Different symbols are used to draw each type of
flowchart.
The Flowchart
A Flowchart
 shows logic of an algorithm
 emphasizes individual steps and their
interconnections
 e.g. control flow from one action to the next
Flow Charts
A flow chart can be used to:

 Define and analyse processes.


 Build a step-by-step picture of the process
for analysis, discussion, or communication.
 Define, standardise or find areas for
improvement in a process.

Example 3
Draw a flowchart that will read the two sides
of a rectangle and calculate its area.
Example 3
START

Input
W, L

A=LxW

Print

Example 4
 Draw a flowchart that will calculate the roots
of a quadratic equation
ax 2  bx  c  0
 Hint: d = sqrt (b2 – 4ac), and the roots are:
x1 = (–b + d)/2a and x2 = – (b + d)/2a
Example 4
START

Input
a, b, c

d = sqrt(b x b – 4 x a x c)

x1 = (–b + d) / (2 x a)

X2 = – (b + d) / (2 x a)

Print

Example 5
 Write an algorithm that reads two values, determines the
largest value and prints the largest value with an
identifying message.
ALGORITHM
Step 1: Input VALUE1, VALUE2
Step 2: if (VALUE1 > VALUE2) then
MAX  VALUE1
else
MAX  VALUE2
endif
Step 3: Print “The largest value is”, MAX
Example 5
START

Input
VALUE1,VALUE2

Y is N
VALUE1>VALUE2

MAX  VALUE1 MAX  VALUE2

Print
“The largest value is”,
MAX

STOP
Assignment 1
 Draw a flowchart that reads three
numbers and prints the value of the largest
number.
Algorithm
Step 1: Input N1, N2, N3
Step 2: if (N1>N2) then
if (N1>N3) then
MAX  N1 [N1>N2, N1>N3]
else
MAX  N3 [N3>N1>N2]
endif
else
if (N2>N3) then
MAX  N2 [N2>N1, N2>N3]
else
MAX  N3 [N3>N2>N1]
endif
endif
Step 3: Print “The largest number is”, MAX
Example 6
 Flowchart: Draw the flowchart of the
above Algorithm.
Example 7
 Write and algorithm and draw a flowchart
to
a) read an employee name (NAME),
overtime hours worked (OVERTIME),
hours absent (ABSENT) and
b) determine the bonus payment
(PAYMENT).
Example 7
Bonus Schedule
OVERTIME – (2/3)*ABSENT Bonus Paid

>40 hours $50


>30 but  40 hours $40
>20 but  30 hours $30
>10 but  20 hours $20
 10 hours $10
Step 1: Input NAME,OVERTIME,ABSENT
Step 2: if (OVERTIME–(2/3)*ABSENT > 40) then
PAYMENT  50
else if (OVERTIME–(2/3)*ABSENT > 30) then
PAYMENT  40
else if (OVERTIME–(2/3)*ABSENT > 20) then
PAYMENT  30
else if (OVERTIME–(2/3)*ABSENT > 10) then
PAYMENT 20
else
PAYMENT  10
endif
Step 3: Print “Bonus for”, NAME “is $”, PAYMENT
Example 7
