Q1c. Briefly outline the purpose five symbols used in flowcharts designing with respect to software design and modelling. 5 Marks
Input / Output : Every flowchart takes some input and processes
the input and produce the Output.
Finiteness : Every process must contain finite number of
steps.
Every problem can be solved in finite steps.
Definiteness: The steps must be specified without ambiguity(clear
and precise)
Efficiency : The operations must be efficient to be carried
Out.
Generality : The algorithm must produce correct result for various
input set.
1.c.
parallelogram : Symbol used to specify input and Output
Rectangle : symbol to specify various arithmetic operations like
computing addition,
subtraction , multiplication etc.
Rhombus or Diamond:This symbol is used to specify the conditon to
take decision
Round end rectangle :To specify start and stop symbol.
Rectangle with double lines :To specify declaration of
variables.
circle:To connect various parts of flowchart.
Arrow : to specify the flow of control of execution.
