Creating a Flow Chart

In this section, the speaker explains how to create a flow chart using the software. They demonstrate the process of creating a flow chart and introduce the different symbols used in flow charts.

Introduction to Flow Chart Creation

  • Open the software and select "File" > "New" > "Diagram" > "Flow Chart".
  • Name the flow chart and click "OK".

Symbols Used in Flow Charts

  • Various symbols are available for use in flow charts.
  • The speaker prefers using the simple section that contains frequently used symbols.
  • Symbols can be dragged and dropped from the left pane to the canvas.
  • Symbols have arrows indicating their direction (up, down, left, right).

Adding Symbols and Arrows

  • Drag and drop symbols onto the canvas to add them to your flow chart.
  • Use arrows behind symbols to connect them quickly.
  • Hover over an arrow symbol and drag it to create a new step with connected arrows.

Deleting Symbols

  • To delete a symbol, select it and press the delete button.

Creating a Simple Flow Chart

In this section, a simple problem statement is introduced, and step-by-step instructions are provided for creating a flow chart based on that problem statement.

Problem Statement: Checking Odd or Even Numbers

  • The problem is to read a number from input and determine if it's odd or even using modulo operation.

Steps for Creating Flow Chart:

  1. Start with a start symbol.
  1. Create a process symbol for reading the number from input.
  1. Add a decision-making symbol to check if number modulo 2 equals zero (even).
  1. Connect arrows based on conditions (even or odd).
  1. Add print statements for even and odd numbers.
  1. Finish with an end or stop symbol.

Conclusion

The speaker summarizes the process of creating a simple flow chart for checking odd or even numbers.

Summary

  • Start with a start symbol.
  • Read the number from input using a process symbol.
  • Use a decision-making symbol to check if the number modulo 2 equals zero (even).
  • Connect arrows based on conditions (even or odd).
  • Add print statements for even and odd numbers.
  • Finish with an end or stop symbol.
