Flowchart: Sequential, Conditional, Repetition

 Good day. My name is Simon Gabriel B. Lorejas. I'm taking the course Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. Today I will be discussing these three types of Flowcharts.


SEQUENTIAL FLOWCHART

                                                   

                   Flowchart Tutorial (with Symbols, Guide and Examples) (visual-paradigm.com)

A Sequential Flow Chart is a group of scripts specified in a single area and then executed in sequential order. Additional parts in the chart may influence where the flow of the chart will go in a specific order until all of it is completed. In situations with many stages of operation, a sequential flowchart is more frequently utilized and simpler to represent. The benefit of a sequential flowchart is its ability to break down big and complicated procedures into smaller, easier-to-understand parts.

The flowchart above shows a series of steps. The user would usually begin at the Terminator symbol (Start) and proceed until it reaches the End shape symbol by following the arrows from one process symbol to the next. A sequence is the most basic flowcharting component. You complete each step in the correct order.


CONDITIONAL FLOWCHART

                                 Lesson 07: Introduction to Conditional Statements (functionx.com)

In a Conditional flowchart, we are most likely familiar with a diamond symbol. Now, this diamond shape symbol represents a decision that will be made in a flowchart. Either this symbol represents a yes or no question or a true or false one. A conditional flowchart is also known as a branched flowchart. When we want to express the execution of a condition in a flowchart, we use a Conditional flowchart.


As you can see in the flowchart above, we are trying to get the remainder of a certain number, and the flowchart should display if the remainder of this certain number is an even or odd number. We start in a terminator symbol, the Start, and after that, we will be using a parallelogram to read a certain number. Next is the rectangle, it represents the process. We will be using this to get the remainder of a number. Moving forward we will use the decision symbol, and that is the diamond, it will define if the remainder is equal to zero. Then the corresponding result will be displayed if it is an even or odd number using the parallelogram, afterward the flowchart will stop.


REPETITION FLOWCHART

                                            

                           The Repetition Control Structure (a.k.a. Looping) (Backup Site) (22web.org)

Repetition refers to a series of steps that are performed many times. A choice must be taken for a recurring process to stop. The option is often referred to as a test. Loops ask the same question until a particular program is complete. In a Repetition flowchart, we will use a decision symbol for the loop to work. The repetition flowchart will continue running until the desired requirements are met, which will stop the program. 


As you can see in the flowchart above, the decision symbol asks if the water has boiled already. To start this program, we will "Fill a Kettle" in the process symbol, and after that, we will "heat the water" in another process symbol again. After both of the steps, this is where the loop start. We used a diamond shape to make a loop, and it asked us if the water had boiled or not. If the condition is incorrect, it will ask to heat the water again until the desired conditions are acquired. After that, if the desired conditions are met, the next step will be "Make a tea," afterward, the program will stop.   


THAT IS THE END THANK YOU
