 Flowgorithm

To insert a symbol into the diagram, click on an

arrow between two symbols…

4
A pop-up menu with options will be displayed
Comments can be added like this:

To edit a symbol, double click it

6
A pop window will allow you to enter text that
explains the "function" of the symbol 7
Type in the content and click OK 8

 Flowgorithm

When defining executable symbols often don't

have to specify the "command” like Output 10
 Flowgorithm

Flowgorithm will insert the command

To run, click the Execute to Completion button

12
 Flowgorithm

Output displayed in Console in "text balloon"

To delete a symbol, draw a box around the

symbol(s) with the cursor (symbol will change
color) & press the Delete key

 Flowgorithm

• When you want a user to enter data, you need to "prompt" them
• In an interactive program, prompting means displaying some text
explaining what data the user needs to enter

• On a web page, input fields always have text next to them

explaining what has to be entered
• This text is a prompt
16
17
To read in data into the program, need a variable
to hold the data
18
 Flowgorithm
• Variables should be defined at the beginning
of the flowchart after the initial comment

• They are defined in a Declare rectangle

19
Must specify the variable name and data type

20
Read in the number with Input symbol and assign
it to the variable 21
22
Will add an output statement that displays…

23
 … the user's number and some text.
Notice how text and variable names are specified

24
 When run prompt shown in the console
Enter data in textfield at bottom and click Enter

25
Notice your input on right

Take Home Exercise
 Question 1
Number reversal

Accept a number from the user and print its reverse.

52
 Question 2
Program - Long Distance Charges
• Long distance charge basics:
• Company charges 10 cents per minute for all calls outside
the customer’s area code that last over 20 minutes

• All other calls are 13 cents per minute

• Create a program to calculate the cost of a phone call

53
• Accept data about one phone call from user
• Customer area code (three chars)
• Customer phone number (eight chars)
• Called area code (three chars)
• Called number (eight chars)
• Call time in minutes (four digits)
• Display:
• All the input data
• Price for the call. 54
 Question 3

Find roots of a quadratic equation

55
 Question 4

Reverse an array of n numbers, where n is given by the user.

Use a function ‘reverse’ to perform reversal and return the

reversed number.
