Deep Dive: Reading Flowcharts
Tips for following flowcharts:
- Always start at the START oval
- Follow arrows in their direction
- At diamonds, evaluate the condition and follow Yes or No
- Loops return back to earlier parts (arrows pointing upward/backward)
- End when you reach the STOP/END oval
Trace tables help track variable values as you trace through a flowchart - essential for exam questions!
