In this blog, I will give the introduction about Flowchart and importance of flowchart in programming. After reading
the post ,dont forget to comment. Your comments are valuable to me to go
forward and post more posts. This is my first blog so there may be many
mistakes which you can point out to me .
Flowchart :
A flowchart is the graphical or symbolic representation of an algorthim which uses various symbols and shapes to denote the different types of instructions. The clear and concise statements are used for writting the actual instructions within the boxes in flowchart. The boxes are then connected by solid lines which have arrow marks to indicate the flow of operation ie, the sequence for the execution of the instructions.
Simple model of flowchart is as follows:
Normally an algorithm is represented in form of flowchart and the flowchart is expressed in some programming language to prepare computer program.
The main advantages of Flowchart are as follows:
Flowchart Symbols:
Flowchart uses various types of shapes to denote different types of instructions. With the use of these symbols, the communication of program logic through flowcharts is easier. For eg. the symbol 'diamond' always means a decision. For the operation of the flowchart, we need only a few symbols to indicate.
The following are the various symbols used in the flowchart:

The main advantages of Flowchart are as follows:
- Any error in the logic of the procedure can be detected easily as flowchart is concerned with the details of the elements of programming language.
- Flowchart is easy to understand and convenient as well.
- Flowchart results in error free program.
- It acts like road-map for a programmer and also guides the path from the starting point to the final point while writing a computer program.
- Flowchart is helpful for beginners in order to create a good program with less errors.
