Programming and Problem Solving through C Language O Level / A Level Chapter -2 : Flowcharts for Problem Solving FLOWCHART The flowchart is a diagram which visually presents the flow of data through processing systems. This means by seeing a flow chart one can know the operations performed and the sequence of these operations in a system. Algorithms are nothing but sequence of steps for solving problems. So a flow chart can be used for representing an algorithm. A flowchart, will describe the operations (and in what sequence) are required to solve a given problem. You can see a flow chart as a blueprint of a design you have made for solving a problem. Flowchart Symbols There are 6 basic symbols commonly used in flowcharting of assembly language Programs:  Terminal,  Process,  input/output,  Decision,  Connector and  Predefined Process. Problem 1 : Flowchart to calculate the area of circle.
