A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process. It is a graphical representation of an algorithm or a step-by-step approach to solving a task. Flowcharts use different symbols connected by arrows to illustrate the flow of information or the sequence of steps in a process. They are widely used in various fields, including computer programming, to document, study, plan, improve, and communicate processes and algorithms
. Flowcharts are used to design and document simple processes or programs, and they can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes, such as describing manufacturing processes, administrative or service processes, or project plans
. They are particularly useful for visualizing processes, identifying flaws and bottlenecks, and communicating the logic of a system
