Flowchart in Programming

We have an Assignment about the Flowchart in Programming in our major subject Fundamentals of Programming and this is what I searched...

Flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm. Flowchart are very helpful in writing program and explaining program to others.

Symbols Used In Flowchart

Different symbols are used for different states in flowchart, For example: Input/Output and decision making has different symbols. The table below describes all the symbols that are used in making flowchart

Symbol	Purpose	Description
	Flow line	Used to indicate the flow of logic by connecting symbols.
	Terminal(Stop/Start)	Used to represent start and end of flowchart.
	Input/Output	Used for input and output operation.
	Processing	Used for airthmetic operations and data-manipulations.
	Desicion	Used to represent the operation in which there are two alternatives, true and false.
	On-page Connector	Used to join different flowline
	Off-page Connector	Used to connect flowchart portion on different page.
	Predefined Process/Function	Used to represent a group of statements performing one processing task.

Examples of flowcharts in programming

Draw a flowchart to add two numbers entered by user.

Draw a flowchart to find the Fibonacci series till term≤1000.

Draw a flowchart to find all the roots of a quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0

Draw flowchart to find the largest among three different numbers entered by user.

Though, flowchart are useful in efficient coding, debugging and analysis of a program, drawing flowchart in very complicated in case of complex programs and often ignored.

Six Elements of an Information System

Our professor gives us an assignment about the Elements of an Information System and this is what I have searched:))).. I'm going to pass it this afternoon.

Six Elements of an Information System

In "Fundamentals of Information Systems," Ralph Stair and George Reynolds define a computer-based information system (CBIS) as a "single set of hardware, software, databases, telecommunications, people, and procedures configured to collect, manipulate, store, and process data into information." Some experts list five basic elements of a CBIS: hardware, software, data, procedures and people. Others add a sixth element, communications, to the list.

Hardware

·         Hardware is the most obvious part of a computer-based information system. Hardware refers to the computers themselves, along with any and all peripherals, including servers, routers, monitors, printers and storage devices. A CBIS may use a single computer or thousands.

Software

·         Without software, the hardware wouldn't be very useful. Software, the second element of a CBIS, is what tells the hardware how to function. It gathers, organizes and manipulates data and carries out instructions. Everything you do using a computer is done by the software.

·        
Data

·         Data, or information, is the third element of a CBIS. Just as hardware cannot function without software, software cannot function without data. This is the information part of an information system, and whether that is statistical data, sets of instructions, lists of names or even graphics and animations, it is all key to a CBIS.

Procedures

·         It is commonly said that "procedures are to people what software is to hardware." The fourth element of CBIS, procedures are the rules, descriptions and instructions for how things are done. In computer-based information systems, procedures are frequently covered in instruction or user manuals that describe how to use the hardware, software and data.

People

·         People are the most often overlooked and most important part of a computer-based information system. It is people who design and operate the software, input the data, build the hardware and keep it running, write the procedures and it is ultimately people who determine the success or failure of a CBIS.

Communication

·         Communication is left out of some lists of CBIS elements, but for a CBIS that involves more than one piece of hardware to function, communication or connectivity is a necessity. This is, in part, because parts of it are covered under hardware. The components that allow one computer to communicate with another are hardware and are controlled by software. If communication between people is included in this element, though, it is an important element.
