RAPTOR Flowchart Tool
RAPTOR is a problem-solving flowchart tool. It is an interpreter visual tool that enables us to generate executable flowcharts. RAPTOR is an acronym and stands for Rapid Algorithmic Prototyping Tool for Ordered Reasoning. The flowchart tool is developed using C# and A# programming languages.
Technically, A RAPTOR Flowchart is a connected directed graph of RAPTOR symbols to visually show the program flow of control. To install Raptor on Windows follow the instructions and the system requirements on this page:
RAPTOR Features
RAPTOR flowchart tool requires minimum syntax and is simple to use. Students prefer using flowcharts to express their algorithms and are more successful in creating algorithms using RAPTOR than using a traditional language or writing/drawing flowcharts without RAPTOR.
