Flowchart Basics

http://nos.org/htm/basic2.htm

    What is a flowchart?
A flowchart is a visual way of representing the flow of data through an information processing system, the operations performed within the system and the sequence in which they were performed


With the decision making symbol (diamond) and the process symbol (rectangle), what are the rules for how many lines may enter and leave the symbol?

    Only one flow line should enter a decision symbol, but two flow lines, one for each possible answer, should leave the decision symbol.


Only one flow line should come out from a process symbol.

Study the sample flowcharts then create a flowchart for a coin toss where heads means Mary pays for the pizza and Tales means Bill pays.
