flowcharting functions

[shoobyman]

code:

var pi: real:= 3.14 var radius: real function circle(radius:real):real         result (2*pi*radius) end circle put "enter radius" get radius put "Perimeter of circle is ", circle (radius)

ok, i am ok at doing flowcharts, but I have no idea how to flowchart a function and i need some help. can anyone give me an example of a flowchart for a function

btw i know this is off topic, but i am out of time and i can't find anywhere to get help from.

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.

o, you mean like a procedure?
that would work nicely. thanks for the help

That made no sense.
Care to reiterate?

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!
