I would think of a function as a box that takes values in, and returns another value. It doesn't matter what's going on inside a function, but one could explain that in a chart of its own. |

Not sure what you're trying to flowchart... At a high level, a function is just a rectangle that you enter and leave, and then you implement the function elsewhere. At a low level, you just flowchart the code of the function. On the flip side, you should see my post for a "web-based programming editor". It lets you write Turing programs through flowcharts. If the flowchart you draw can generate the code that you've written, then you have a flowchart for your code! |
