                                 Flow Line
                                 (Arrow, Connector)    It shows the direction in which the process flows.
                                                       It is small and is used as a Connector to show a jump from

                                 (Inspection)          one point in the flowchart to another. Connectors are usually
                                                       labelled in pairs to show matching jump points.



                       Rules to Draw Flowcharts

                  You must follow these basic rules while drawing a flowchart:
                     The flowchart should be clear, neat and easy to follow.

                     Maintain the direction of the flow from left to right or top to bottom.
                     Only one flow line should come out from a process symbol.

                      Ensure that only one flow line should enter a decision symbol, but two flow lines should leave the
                    decision box.
                     Ensure that the flowchart has a logical start and end.

                       Advantages of Flowcharts

                  Flowcharts provide following advantages:

                     It is easy to draw.
                     It provides a better understanding of a problem.

                  Let us understand how some simple flowcharts are made.
                  Example 1: Flowchart to add two numbers and display the result.

                                                          Start





                                                     Input num1, num2               Input




                                                     Sum= num1 + num 2           Calculation




                                                        Print Sum                  Output




                                                          Stop


                                             Flowchart to add two numbers and
                                                     display the result
