Q

This oval, which contains either the word start or the
word stop, indicates the starting and stopping point in the flowchart. A flowchart can only have one starting point but it may have many possible stopping points.

Q

This parallelogram is used for INPUT and OUTPUT
instruction. INPUT means to enter data into a
computer or to use the computer to read the available
data from magnetic disk. OUTPUT means to display
the result of compilation or condition of the given
solution.

Q

This diamond-shaped symbol contains a condition. If
the condition is true, the marked path TRUE is to be
followed. If the condition is false, the marked path
FALSE is to be followed.

17
Q

It is used to initialize variables not explicitly defined in
the input but a requirement in the production of the
output.

Q

What are the two types of flowcharts?

A
  • System Flowchart (process chart)

* Program Flowchart

20
Q

It indicates a flowchart for a targeted system as a whole

A

System Flowchart

21
Q

It is used to describe processing procedures based on detailed analysis.

A

Program Flowchart

22
Q

An orderly, understandable, and clear solution flowchart

A

Structured Flowchart

23
Q

Three basic methods of Structured Flowchart are?

A
  1. Sequential
  2. Selection Structure
  3. Repetition Structure
24
Q

Steps are performed in a strictly sequential manner; each step being executed
exactly once. This is the simplest method of control. It is easy to develop and understand.

A

Sequential

25
Q

One of several alternative actions is selected and executed. It
involves the use of decision based on the given condition. It use decision block or the diamondshaped block. Alternative action will be represented by a processing block.

A

Selection Structure

26
Q

One or more steps is performed repeatedly

A

Repetition Structure

27
Q

It is a set or series of instruction for carrying a task. It is also a procedure to produce
the required output from the given input. It is similar with a paragraph that expresses a single
thought. It uses English language. It is also known as pseudo code.

A

Algorithm

28
Q

The three basic methods of control in Algorithm

A
  1. Sequential
  2. Selection
  3. Repetition
29
Q

It is a mixture of language and symbols, terms and other feature commonly used
one or more high-level languages.

A

Pseudo Code
