Construction of Flowchart
Eight steps that will insure complete preparation and execution of a flowchart are:- 
  1.  Research the problem
  2.  Decide on the method of solution
  3.  Plan the solutions
  4.  Outline the system by drawing the system flowchart
  5.  Check the system flowchart
  6.  Draw a detailed program flowchart for each program
  7.  Check the program flowchart
  8.  Test the program flowchart and system flowchart by using data that has been prepared.
                  As preparations and planning proceed more information may be needed.
 These steps may not be treated as an absolute rule they are intended only as guidelines and must be treated as such when constructing flowcharts you should attempt to observe the following guidelines:
  1.  The flow of the flowchart should be from top to bottom and from left to right.
  2.  You will meaningful for descriptions of the symbols of a flowchart is part of the program documentation and the symbol description should be meaningful to any programmer.
  3.  If the flowchart is complex connectors should be used to reduce the number of flow lines avoid interacting flowlines.
  4.  Legibility is important. Print clearly and use a flowcharting template.
  5.  When possible construct flow charts on a special flowcharting forms that allow symbols to be placed a fixed distance from each other number.
  6.  A program flowchart should have as little duplication as possible.

Question: What is Flowchart? Answer:   A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm. It is often used by programmers as a program-planning tool for organizing a sequence of steps necessary to solve a problem by a computer. It uses boxes of different shapes to denote different types of instructions. The actual instructions are written within these boxes using clear and concise statements. These boxes are connected by solid lines having arrow marks to indicate the flow of operation, that is, the exact sequence in which the instructions are to be executed. The process of drawing a flowchart for an algorithm is often referred to as flowcharting. Why Use Flowcharts? Normally, an algorithm is first represented in the form of a flowchart, and the flowchart is then expressed in some programming language to prepare a computer program. The main advantage of this two-step approach in program writing is that. while drawing a flowchart, a programmer is not concerned with the ...

Rules of Flowchart

Flowchart Rules While programmers have a good deal of freedom in creating flowcharts, There are a number of general rules and guidelines, recommended by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), to help standardize the flowcharting process. Various computer manufactures and data processing departments usually have similar flowcharting standards. Some of these rules and guidelines are  as follow: First chart the main line of logic, then incorporate detail. Maintain a consistent level of detail for a given flowchart.  Do not chart every detail otherwise, the flowchart will only be a graphic representation, step by step, of the program. A reader, who is interested in greater detail can refer to the program itself. Words in the flowchart symbols should be common statements, which are easy to understand. It is recommended to use descriptive titles written in designer's own language, rather than in machine-oriented language. Be consistent in...

Program Development PART 3

System Design Technique There are two system design techniques, given as follows: Top-Down Design- The top-down design technique is based on the fact that large problems become more manageable if they are divided into a number of smaller and simpler tasks which can be tackled separately. The top-down design approach is performed in a special way. the main program is written first. it is tested before some programs are written. for this, actual subprograms are replaced with stubs. the study simply tests to see if the data is passed correctly. after the main program is written and check, is module is written and tested in turn. this should first be done without the main program in order to let us stuff is an error occurs. Bottom-Up Design- In the bottom-up approach, it is usually assumed that the basic proteins created will be general enough to be used more than once. using the subroutines, to construct a program save repeating the same lines of code by using it. A bottom-up app...
