Why flowcharting?
Often the best way to understand a problem is to draw pictures. Pictures often provide
us with a more complete idea of the situation than a series of short word or phrases
can. However, pictures combined with text provide an extremely powerful tool for
communication and problem solving. Algorithms can be developed more quickly when a
flow chart is built to represent such an algorithm. Flowcharts need less effort to
understand then an algorithm.
