                      RULES FOR DRAWING A FLOWCHART

                      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.
