Flow Chart Basics
- Questions after readings and practice problems?
- Critical Concepts
- What flows is logic/attention/activity
- Describes sequence of action, choices among course of action
- Every activity has an entry point (begin) and and exit point (end)
- Any cluster of action with a single entry and single exit can be lumped into a single named action
- To keep logic simple, we should name actions whenever possible
- Define it as a grammar
- named action:= concrete action | sequence of 1 or more named actions | decision among alternative named actions
- Examples of what we never do
