Flowgorithm Symbols [ 2024 ]

Flowgorithm Symbols

Flowgorithm Symbols are the building blocks of a flowchart. Different symbols represent and perform different steps or statements in the flowchart.

Symbols are also called Shapes or Statements. Each flowchart symbol has a unique Shape. The flowchart symbols translate to programming statements in the source code. The terms “Symbol” , “Shape”, and “Statement” are used interchangeably.

Flowgorithm 3 Flowchart Add Symbol

Flowchart symbols are classified into:

Input/Output symbols
Variables Declare/Assign symbols
Control If/Call symbols
Looping For/While/Do symbols.
Breakpoint / Comment

Symbol	Name	Purpose
	Comment	The Comment symbol adds documentation to the flowchart for the readers. Comments are ignored during the flowchart execution.
	Breakpoint	The Breakpoint statement temporarily pauses the flowchart execution. This symbol is used while debugging the flowchart.
	Input	The Input Symbol reads user input from a standard input device, such as a keyboard, and stores the data in a program variable.
	Output	The Output Symbol displays the data to the standard output device like the console window.
	Declare	The Declare symbol is used to declare the variable in the flowchart.
	Assign	The Assign symbol stores the value to the specified variable in the flowchart.
	If	The If statement control structure makes a decision and controls the flow. The if statement has a condition and creates a branch in the flowchart. The program control takes one branch if the condition is True; the other branch if the statement is False.
	Call	The Call symbol invokes a procedure or function. It transfers control to the procedure or function from the caller.
	While	The While loop structure is an indefinite repetition loop structure in the flowchart.
	For	The For loop structure is a definite repetition loop structure in the flowchart.
	Do	The Do Loop is an indefinite repetition loop just like the While loop. The difference is that Do loop executes the loop at least once.
