Can anyone help me make a flow chart for this program please? I suck at flowcharts, I did the program but I can't do the flow chart for it.
Thanks |

this doesn't have to do with turing but... can't remember the symbols...
that's... kinda what the flowchart would look like. i remember that the start/stop shapes are ovals and the decision shape is a diamond. for yes, there should be an arrow pointing back to the input box and for no, an arrow that continues to the output box. it's too bad there are people teaching flowcharts still, they're pretty useless for teaching compsci in my experience. |

my teacher made us do them... he said that it would help us organize our program and wouldnt create as much confusion..... I never did hand in a flowchart, they are pointless, I dont like having a "game plan" because i like adding or taking things out as i go along..... anyway I do believe Input and Output symbols are rectangles on a slant |

poly - flowcharts are pointless. I mean sure... they might offer kind of a visual representation of code flow, but they're effective only on such a scale, where the code itself is understandable. It would only help if one is having trouble understanding how a conditional loop works  - like soo many teachers for example  |

Yeah, well our teacher wants them. I see no point to them but hey I already finished it. Karam, use MS Word. It's all there. Find that note you copied on the symbols so you know what your doing. |
