Flowchart
2.1.2 Flowchart
A flowchart is another way of breaking down a program in the form of a diagram.
The following are recognised flowchart symbols:
Write down the name of following flow chart symbols:
Q 11.1) Draw a flowchart that

COUNTING
Counting is used to find how many items are there by incrementing by 1 during each time loop is
executed.
It is sometimes necessary to count how many times something happens.
To count up or increment by 1, we can use statements such as:
Count ← Count + 1
(new) (old)
i.e. INCREMENT (old) Count by 1 to get (new) Count
TOTALLING
Totalling is used to calculate running total. We can use a variable such as Total or Sum to hold the
running total and assignment statements such as:
Total ← Total + Number
(new) (old)
i.e. ADD Number to (old) Total to obtain (new) Total
Count-controlled (FOR) loops
Count-controlled loop is used when the number of repetition is already known.
Example Question
a) Draw a flowchart to input 20 numbers and find the total and average of positive numbers
b) Explain how do you change your flowchart to work for 30 numbers that are between 0 and 100.

Conditional Loop:
A loop which is executed on the basis of a condition.
Pre-condition (WHILE) loop in which condition is given at the start of loop and which is executed
only when the condition is true, is called pre-condition loop.
Post-condition (REPEAT UNTIL) loop in which condition is given at the end of loop and which is
executed only when the condition is false is called post-condition loop.
Rogue Value A value which stops input, used to terminate loop.
Q 11.8) Draw a flowchart that
Inputs the weight of a number of parcels in kilograms.
Validate parcel (parcels weighing more than 25 kilograms are rejected).
A value of –1 stops the input.
Outputs the total weight of the parcels accepted and number of parcels rejected.
