FLOW CHARTS

Flow Charts are used to help programmers in the early
stages of programming. A flow chart is a chart that flows from one stage to
the next and it will show what stage or event is first, second, third etc... |

THE FIRST STAGE OF PROGRAMMING |
|
This is a flow chart representing the making of tea. It starts with filling the kettle with water all the way through every possible stage. Imagine a robot had to be programmed to perform this basic task. The programmer would have to give the robot every instruction. Remember - computers will only do what we instruct then to do. They cannot not decide anything for themselves. |
|
If you examine the flow chart you will see that every
stage of the tea making process is identified. However, you may be able to
add even more detail. |
|
Draw a flow chart to represent every stage of getting up in the morning and coming to school. Include the full range of boxes. The best way to start this question is to carefully list each stage. |
