Flow charts and sequencing
softwareThe programs, applications and data in a computer system. Any parts of a computer system that aren't physical. can be used to create sequences in a flow chart, also known as a flow diagram, to view onscreen simulationsA model that produces an output, either visual or physical, as it runs.. Examples include:
- Flowol
- Logicator
- Crocodile Clips
Symbols linked together form a flow chart. Flow chart programming consists of:
- sequences of instructions that lead to a real-life simulation
- decisions that result in two different actions
- loops that repeat an action until a certain condition is met
- variables that store data for use in decision making
Basic flow chart symbols
Visual programmingThe process of writing computer software., or programming with a flow chart, can be used to focus on the logic of the solution without getting distracted by the complexity of a written programming language.
