Flow diagrams and sequencing

can be used to create sequences in a flow diagram, also known as a flow chart, to view onscreen . Examples include:

  • Flowol
  • Logicator
  • Crocodile Clips

Symbols linked together form a flow diagram. Flow diagram programming consists of:

  • sequences of instructions that lead to a real-life simulation
  • decisions that result in two different actions
  • loops that repeat an action until a certain condition is met
  • variables that store data for use in decision making
