What is a flowchart?
A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm. A flowchart is a visual representation of the sequence of steps and decisions needed to perform a process. Each step in the sequence is noted within a diagram shape. Steps are linked by connecting lines and directional arrows. This allows anyone to view the flowchart and logically follow the process from beginning to end. Flowcharts are used in designing and documenting simple processes or programs. Like other types of diagrams, they help visualize what is going on and thereby help understand a process, and perhaps also find flaws, bottlenecks, and other less-obvious features within it.
The main advantage of flowcharts in programming is that, while drawing a flowchart, a programmer need not pay attention to the details of the elements of any programming language. Hence, he/she can fully concentrate on the logic of the solution to problem at hand.
