Flowcharts

Flowcharts are diagrams that display a problem’s definition, analysis, or solution approach and employ symbols to represent activities, data, flow, equipment, and other actions. Various types of flowcharts exist, among which are data, system, and program flowcharts. This chapter focuses on program flowcharts, which are the most commonly used, in practice, to show the sequence of steps and decisions required to perform a process or algorithm. We present examples on how to generate flowcharts using the Schemdraw package.
