What is a Flow Chart?
A flow chart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, that is, it is a visual picture, which gives the steps of an algorithm, and also the flow of control between the various steps.
It is a diagram or map showing the steps taken to reach a certain result. It can show how information moves from one part of a computer system to another.
A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows. In other words, a flow chart contains boxes of different shapes, connected by lines (or arrows)
The two most common types of boxes in a flowchart are the processing step, usually called activity and denoted as a rectangular box, and the decision step usually denoted as a diamond.
