This document discusses flowcharting and pseudocoding. It defines a flow chart as using symbols to represent successive steps in a procedure. Pseudocode is defined as a readable textual description of a computer program that is used in developing a program. The document then lists and defines common symbols used in flowcharts like input/output, decision, flowlines, and terminals. It also lists common terms used in pseudocode like accept, display, if, and write. An example pseudocode is provided to demonstrate these concepts.

PSEUDOCODING

2. Flow Chart
• A graphic representation of the
successive steps in a procedure
that system, which usually uses
symbols that are interconnected
with lines to show sequence or
process
Pseudocode
• A readable description of a
computer program in textual
form. It is usually used as a
Let x = 1st num
detailed step in the process of
developing a program.

3. Input/Output
• Indicates any function of an input/output
device making data available for
processing or causing information
available for use.

4. Decision
• Appoints the program where a
comparison is to be made and alternative
processing is to occur based upon the
results of the comparison.

5. Flowlines
• Indicates direction of a data.

6. Preparation
• Used in declaring and initializing
identifiers or variables that will be used in
the programs.

7. Processing
• Represents one or more instructions that
perform a processing function for the
program. Ex. Addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division.

8. On page connector
• Indicates an entry form or an exit to
another part of the program flowchart. It
is also used to indicate the termination of
a comparison operation.

9. Terminal
• This symbol documents the beginning or
end of a program.

10. Off page connector
• This symbol indicates continuation to or
from another page.

11. Annotation Symbol
• This symbol is used when an additional
description is needed.

12. Pseudocode Language
• Accept – allow data
• Close – terminating a program
• Compute – mathematical computation
• Declare – defining various identifiers
• Display – displaying contents
• Entry – marking the beginning
• Exit – marking the end
• If – comparing contents
• Move – to copy or moved data
• Perform – perform procedure
• Start – marking the beginning
• Stop – terminating the program execution
• Write – for copying the content

13. Pseudocode Example
Start
FN = First Name
LN = Last Name
Num_St = number and street
City = City
Tel = Telephone number
Input FN, LN
Input Num_St, City
Input Tel
Print FN, LN, Num_St, City, Tel
End
