A flowchart is a diagram that represents an algorithmA sequence of logical instructions for carrying out a task. In computing, algorithms are needed to design computer programs.. We can use flowcharts to plan and demonstrate the flow of data in a solution. They help us visualize what is going on.
A series of symbols are used to represent the different elements of the algorithm:
Example:
A simple program could be created to ask someone their name and age, and to make a comment based on these.
