Flowchart in Programming

A flowchart is a diagram that represents an algorithm using standard symbols. It can help both develop and explain a program by visually mapping out the logic flow and processes. Common symbols include lines to connect different steps, terminals for start/stop, inputs/outputs for data, and decisions for conditional logic. Examples show flowcharts for adding numbers, finding the largest of three inputs, and calculating roots of a quadratic equation.
