Planning the Task: Flowcharts



Flowcharts

Flowcharts are used to show the correct sequence of events of a particular operation. This may be used in business, commerce or in the world of computer programming.
These flowchart symbols have been taken from the British Standards BS4058: 1973 (Specification for processing flow chart symbols, rules and conventions).

Flowlines must be added in between the boxes and these lines should have arrows on them to show the direction of flow of instructions.

Press on the following links to find out how all of the above shapes may be correctly used to make a complete flowchart.

Process shapes
A Start shapes
A Decision shape
A Modification shape
Input shape



The Flowchart on the right includes;
Process shapes
A Start shapes
A Decision shape
A Modification shape

Use this flowchart to insert a sequence of instructions which clearly show how you have constructed your clock. This flowchart may be used with another project. It may be extended or adapted using a draw package.
