HOW TO DRAW A FLOWCHART?


Before drawing flowcharts you need to understand the different symbols used in Flowcharts. Most people are aware of basic symbols like processes and decision blocks. But there are many more symbols to make your flowchart more meaningful. Below image shows all the standard flowchart symbols.
Most people don’t know about some rarely used flowchart symbols like Sequential access storage, Direct data, Manual Input etc. Check the flowchart symbols page for a detailed explanation of different symbols. Although these are the standard symbols available in most flowchart software, some people do use different shapes for different meanings. The most common example of this is the using circles to denote start and end. The examples in this flowchart guide will stick with the standard symbols.

How to Draw a Flowchart

Flowcharts can be categorized into four main types. Document flowchart, System flowchart, data flowchart and program flowchart. Not everyone agrees with this categorization, but the core principals of drawing a flowchart remains the same. You need to consider few things when drawing a flowchart, Check out 6 useful tips on drawing flowcharts before you start.
If you are drawing a flowchart with many responsible parties you can group them together using swim lanes. Swim lanes are a powerful technique to increase the readability of you flowchart so you should use them according to the situation. Read using swim lanes in flowcharts to learn more about the process.
Below video shows how to draw a flowchart using Creately. It is very simple to use and one click create and connect helps you draw them faster as well. You can drag and drop symbols from the library or drag images to your diagram by doing an image search

    For instance, they may select a type of lettuce that has purple coloring in it as
    well as green. Due to the popularity of organic gardening,
    organic potting soil and compost are available at most garden centers.
    Without fertilizing additives (natural or chemical), plants will be
    stunted and unhealthy.

    Pastes are isotropic but may exhibit anomalous double refraction.

    It is also a good practice to make sure that none of the climbers are more tired than the other.

    This game by Hexacto is simple, straightforward, and fun.
    This kind of game is great because it can also provide scientific information, 'Phun' would help with physics study obviously while other
    simulation games that offer choices could contribute valuable data to Psychology.

Pointers in C

Pointers are an extremely powerful programming tool. They can make some things much easier, help improve your program's efficiency, and even allow you to handle unlimited amounts of data. For example, using pointers is one way to have a function modify a variable passed to it. It is also possible to use pointers to dynamically allocate memory, which means that you can write programs that can handle nearly unlimited amounts of data on the fly--you don't need to know, when you write the program, how much memory you need. Wow, that's kind of cool. Actually, it's very cool, as we'll see in some of the next tutorials. For now, let's just get a basic handle on what pointers are and how you use them. What are pointers? Why should you care? Pointers are aptly name: they "point" to locations in memory. Think of a row of safety deposit boxes of various sizes at a local bank. Each safety deposit box will have a number associated with it so that you ca...

Types of Computer Networks(LAN,MAN,WAN)

Types of Computer Networks Computer networks are categorized according to: How they are organized physically. The way they are used. The distance over which they operate. Three main types of computer networks are as follows: LAN   (Local Area Network) WAN (Wide Area Network) MAN ( Metropolitan-Area Network) LAN (Local Area Network) LAN is the most common type of network . LAN stands for Local area Network . It covers a small area. Most LANs are used to connect computers in a single building or group of buildings. Hundreds or thousands of computer maybe connected through LAN. Typical LANs can be found in industrial plants, office buildings, and college or university campuses. LANs are capable of transmitting data at very fast rate. Data transmission speeds of LAN are 1 to 100 megabits per second. It is much faster than data transmission over a telephone line. LAN can transmit data in a limited distance. There is also a limit on the number of...

Ring topologies

Ring topologies are similar to bus topologies, except they transmit in one direction only from station to station. Typically, a ring architecture will use separate physical ports and wires for transmit and receive. Token Ring is one example of a network technology that uses a ring topology.
