                                FLOWCHART

                      A flowchart is a diagram that uses shapes and arrows to show steps in an algorithm. It displays
                      the steps in order and helps us understand and check instructions quickly. Flowcharts are used in
                      many fields to analyse, design and manage processes.

                      SYMBOLS USED IN FLOWCHARTS

                      Different symbols are used to draw different types of flowcharts, as shown in the following table:

                             Course_ID                Course Name                          Teacher_Name

                                                Terminal (Start/Stop)       Marks the start  and end points  of the
                                                                            flowchart.
                                                Process                     Represents an action or process step.

                                                Input/Output                Shows where data enters or exits the system.

                                                Decision                    Indicates a point where a decision is made

                                                                            (Yes/No).

                                                Flow Line/Arrow             Shows the direction of flow between steps.
                                                On-page Connector           Connects points on the same page to avoid
                                                                            messy lines.

                                                Off-page Connector          Connects  flowcharts  across pages,  paired
                                                                            with matching labels.

                      GUIDELINES FOR MAKING FLOWCHARTS

                      When creating flowcharts, it’s important to follow certain rules to ensure clarity and effectiveness.
                      Some rules for making flowcharts are:
                         Start with one Start terminal and end with one Stop terminal.
