Main Ideas and Concepts

Definition of a Flowchart:

A flowchart (or flow diagram) is a graphical representation of a process or algorithm.
It consists of a series of structured and linked steps that allow the entire process to be reviewed visually.
Uses specific geometric shapes to represent different types of steps.
Arrows and lines connect these shapes to indicate the flow direction, similar to a map.

Applications of Flowcharts:

Flowcharts are useful in various fields such as:

Technology
Programming
Economics
Psychology
Education
Other analytical subjects

They help outline and clarify complex processes.

Types of Flowcharts:

Horizontal: Flow goes from left to right.
Vertical: Flow goes from top to bottom.
Panoramic: Displays the entire process on a single page.
Architectural element: Represents work itinerary or work areas (details less emphasized).

Key Requirement:

A flowchart must have a single starting point and a single end point, ensuring a clear path to a solution.

Common Flowchart Symbols and Their Functions

Symbol Function Start/Finish Marks the beginning or end of the process/program Process Represents an activity or operation within the process Input/Output Data entering or leaving the system Decision A decision point with outcomes based on true/false values Flow line Shows the order and direction of the process flow Document Indicates documents involved in the process Database Represents data storage or recording Internal Connector Connects parts of the flowchart on the same page External Connector Connects parts of the flowchart across different pages Delay Indicates a delay or bottleneck before the next step

Step-by-Step Methodology to Create Flowcharts (Illustrated with Examples)

Example 1: Making Coffee

Start with the “I want coffee” symbol.
Decision: “Is there coffee made?”
- If No: Process “Make coffee.”
- If Yes: Process “Coffee.”
Process: “Serve in cup and add sugar.”
Decision: “Is it sweet?”
- If No: Process “Add sugar” and loop back to the sweetness decision.
- If Yes: End with “Drink coffee.”

Example 2: Calculating Business Profit or Loss

Start symbol.
Input/Output: Enter all revenues.
Input/Output: Enter all costs.
Decision: “Are revenues ≥ costs?”
- If No: Calculate loss (cost - revenue).
- If Yes: Calculate profit (revenue - cost).
End with result (loss or profit).

Additional Notes

Flowcharts help in organizing and visualizing processes step-by-step.
Other chart types mentioned for organizing information include synoptic charts and comparative charts (links provided in the video).
