4. A Flow chart
• Is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm,
workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of
various kinds, and their order by connecting them with
arrows.
5. Flow charts are used in analysing , designing ,
documenting or managing a process or program in
various fields.
6. Overview
• Flow chart are used in designing and documenting complex processes or
programs.
• Like other types of diagrams , they help visualize what is going on and
thereby help the people to understand a process , and perhaps also find
flaws, bottlenecks , and other less-obvious features within it.
• There are many different types of flowcharts , and each type has its own
repertoire of boxes and notational conventions.
7. Overview
• The two most common types of boxes in a flow chart are:
• 1) a processing step, usually called activity, and denoted as a rectangular
box
• 2) a decision , usually denoted as a diamond.

9. Terminator
Represented as circles , ovals or rounded rectangles,
usually containing the word “Start” or “End” , or
another phrase signalling the start or end of a process ,
such as “submit inquiry” or “receive product”. Start / end
10. Arrows
• Showing “flow of control”.
• An arrow coming from one symbol and ending at
another symbol represents that control passes to
the symbol the arrow points to .
• The line for the arrow can be solid or dashed.
• The meaning of the arrow with dashed line may
differ from one flowchart to another and can be
defined in the legend
11. processing
• Represented as rectangles.
• Use it to represent an event which is controlled
within the process.
• Typically this will be a step or action which is taken.
• In most flowcharts this will be the most frequently
used symbol.
• Examples: “ Add 1 to X”; “replace identified part”;
“save changes” or similar.
processing
12. Input / output
Represented as a parallelogram.
Represents material or information entering or leaving
the system, such as customer order (input) or a product
(output).
Example: Get X from the user; display X.
Input/output
13. Decision
A decision or branching point. Lines representing
different decisions emerge from different points of the
diamond.
decision
14. circle
Use it to represent a point at which the flowchart
connects with another process.
The name or reference for the other process should
appear within the symbol
connector
15. • When dealing with a process flow chart, two separate stages of the process should be
considered: the finished product and the making of the product. In order to analyse the finished
product or how to operate the process , flow charts tend to use simple and easily recognizable
symbols. The basic flow chart symbols below are used when analysing how to operate a process.

17. Program flowchart
shows the sequence of instructions in a program or subroutine. These instructions are
followed to procedure the needed output

DECISION
END
18. System flowchart
shows how the data flows from source documents through the computer to its final distribution to the
users. System flowcharts portray the interaction among data, hardware and personnel.
