Flowcharts

Flowcharts are a visual outlining tool. They can be used to represent an algorithm. The flowing five symbols are enough to flowchart an algorithm.

The Three Basic Control Structures

Our programs are made up of the three basic constructures of: sequence, selection, and repetition.

1 Sequence

The sequence control structure is defined as the straight forward execution of one procesing step after another. Here is the general form of a sequence.

Here is a typical sequence of statements.

ประโย่คเลื�อก (Selection)

The selection control structure can be defined as the presentation of a condition, and the choice between two actions depending on whether the condition is true or false. Here is the general form of the selection construct.

Here is a typical selection statement.

Here is a selection with a empty false side.

การทำ�าซ้ำ��า (Repetition)

The repetition control structure can be defined as the presentation of a set of instructions to be performed repeatly, as long as a condition is true. Here is the general form of repetition.

Here is a repetition control structure with typical statements.

Simple Algorithms That Use the Sequence Control Structure

Here are the examples from chapter 3 using flowcharts.

Flowcharts and the Selection Control Structure

Here are the examples from chapter 4 using flowcharts.

โครงสร�าง IF อย่�างง�าย่

Simple selection occurs when a choice is made between two alternative paths.

Null ELSE statement

The null ELSE structure is a variation of the simple IF structure with the false side being empty.

Combined IF statement

A combined IF statement is one that contains multiple conditions in the decision symbol.

Nested IF statement

A nested IF statement has another IF in either the true or false branch.

Alternate between these two methods by doing the flow chart first on one problem, then write the pseudocode for that problem. For the next problem, start with a pseudocode solution, then go to the flow chart.

Once you have completed a couple of problems, take time to have another learner review your work while you review theirs.

Remember - small details are important here!

1) Count to 100 2) Count to 100 by 2's 3) Count to 100 by 3's 4) Add the numbers from 1 to 100 5) Add up 10 numbers that are given to you - that is, you don't know what they are until someone gives

them to you.... 6) Find the average of 10 numbers given to you 7) Find the average, high number, low number, sum of those 10 numbers 8) Display three numbers in order from smallest to largest (the numbers are given to you) 9) Display three words in order (the words are given to you) 10) Display 10 numbers in order 11) Display 10 words in order 12) Find the batting average of your favorite baseball/softball player 13) Display 10 baseball/softball players in order of their batting average (high to low) 14) Find the area of a rectangle (two sides are given to you) 15) Find the area of a triangle 16) Find the area of a circle 17) Find the area of a snowman (3 circles - we'll stay 2 dimensional here!) 18) Find the area of a house (a rectangle and a triangle) 19) Find the area of a rectangle with a triangular hole in it 20) Modify your area solutions to check for values given to you that are less than zero and ask for a new
