A flowchart is a formalized graphic representation of
a
logic sequence
work or manufacturing process
organization chart
similar formalized structure.
The purpose of a flow chart is to provide people with
a common language or reference point when
dealing with a project or process.

Flowcharts use simple geometric symbols and
arrows to define relationships. In programming, for
instance,
The Beginning Or End Of A Program Is
Represented By An Oval.
A Process Is Represented By A Rectangle, A
Decision Is Represented By A Diamond
An I/O Process Is Represented By A
Parallelogram.
The Internet Is Represented By A Cloud.

1921- The "flow process chart", was introduced by Frank Gilbreth
to members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME)
Gilbreth's tools quickly found their way into industrial engineering
curricula.
1930- An industrial engineer, Allan H. Mogensen began training
business people in the use of some of the tools of industrial
engineering at his Work Simplification Conferences in Lake Placid,
New York.
1944- A graduate of Mogensen's class, Art Spinanger, took the
tools back to Procter and Gamble where he developed their
Deliberate Methods Change Program.
1944- Ben S. Graham, Director of Form craft Engineering at
Standard Register Industrial, adapted the flow process chart to
information processing with his development of the multi-flow
process chart to display multiple documents and their
relationships.
In 1947, ASME adopted a symbol set derived from Gilbreth's
original work as the "ASME Standard: Operation and Flow
Process Charts."
Douglas Hartree explains that Herman Goldstine and John
von Neumann developed a flowchart (originally, diagram) to
plan computer programs. His contemporary account is
endorsed by IBM engineers and by Goldstine's personal
recollections. Besides describing the logical flow of control,
flowcharts allowed programmers to lay out machine language
programs in computer memory before the development of
assembly languages and assemblers.
Flowcharts used to be a popular means for describing
computer algorithms and are still used for this purpose.
Modern techniques such as UMLactivity diagrams and
Drakon-charts can be considered to be extensions of the
flowchart.

Complex- The major disadvantages in using the
flowcharts is that when a program is very large,
the flowcharts may continue for many pages,
making them hard to follow.
Difficult to modify- due to symbolic nature, any
changes of modifications to a flowcharts usually
requires redrawing the entire logic again, and
redrawing a complex flowchart is not a simple
tasks.

Costly- Drawing flowcharts are viable only if the
problem solving logic is straight forward and not
very lengthy. However , if flowcharts are to be
drawn for a huge application, the time and cost
factor of program development may get out of
proportion.

A flowchart is a tool for your mind. Like all tools, its value
depends on the person using it. It provides one way of
describing how you will plan to do a complicated task.
A flowchart shows what is done when each decision must
be made and when to go to each process as a result. There
is a saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." A
flowchart gives a picture of the way a particular item will
occur.
In calculating payroll taxes, the program asks, "Is this
person married?" The answer is yes or no. If it is yes, the
program goes to one rate. If no, it goes to another rate. The
flowchart shows all such yes and no decisions. Following
those makes it easier to find mistakes in the program.

A flow chart is a type of diagram representing
a process using different symbols containing
information about steps or a sequence of
events. Each of these symbols is linked with
arrows to illustrate the flow direction of the
process. Very important before start any
