NameSymbolFlowchart use OvalThis is used at the start and at the end of a program to start and stop the program. Flow lineThis shows which way the logic flows in the program. (It can go in more than one direction) ParallelogramShows an input (key board press, mouse click, can you think of any others?) or an output (printer, speakers, can you think of more?) RectangleThis is something that needs to happen. (e.g. Stir the ingredients together. Spread the jam on the bread, move the sprite to the left. ) DiamondThis is selection, this means the program can choose to done thing or another based on the question in the diamond. (e.g. Is the bath water too hot? (YES = add more cold water and NO = move on to the next part of the algorithm) Writing my algorithm ? YES NO

Write an algorithm to… Wash your hair…. Start Add shampoo Turn shower on Get in the shower Wet hair Lather hair Rinse out shampoo Stop

Write an algorithm to… Wash your hair…. Start Add shampoo Is hair dirty? Get in the shower Wet hair Wash the rest of me. Rub in to hair Rinse out shampoo Stop Turn shower on Do I want conditioner? Add conditioner Rub in to hair Rinse out conditioner Turn shower off YES NO YES NO Get out of shower

Write an algorithm to… Clap my hands if I am happy and I know it Start YES Am I happy? Clap my hands twice NO Start Takes us one way or Takes us one way or another in the algorithm another in the algorithm IF this condition is met THEN do this ELSE do this IF this condition is met THEN do this ELSE do this Selection Am I happy?

Write an algorithm to… Clap my hands if I am happy and I know it Start YES Am I happy? Clap my hands twice NO Start Selection LOOPS To repeat a process. To repeat a process. When we use flow charts, a decision (selection) is needed to determine whether the loop continues. When we use flow charts, a decision (selection) is needed to determine whether the loop continues.
