programming assignment

[pweezy-f]

Can some one please help me. I am doing this course called Introduction to Programming and my lecturer isn't so supporting in helping us to understand the topic flowchart. Now, i have this assignment to carry in by the 3rd of october and don't even know the first step in starting the first question.

ok here's the first question of the assignment.
Draw a flowchart that accepts two numbers that represents the length and breath of a rectangle and prints the area of the rectangle. After printing the area, ask the user if he wants to find the area of another rectangle - "Y" for yes and "N" for no.(This question is asked each time the area is printed). If he does, allow him to enter two more numbers and find the area again. IF the answer is no, the flowchart must be terminated.(Please ensure that you include a check to determine if an invalid character is entered).

Thanks for your cooperation.

Google "programming flowchart". Tons of info there. Check out some of the google images as well. Tons more examples to get you started.

You gotta draw the various flow chart symbols to read and to output and to calculate, based on what the question asks you. And connect them all together.

Exactly what part don't you understand? We would need to know that if we're helping you.
Here http://www.nos.org/htm/basic2.htm is a pretty good explanation of how to make flowcharts.

Great link, this will be helpful to get a better understanding of flowcharts to other persons.

@Yondaimeku
ok.....i think i got the first part of it but the part that says to 'Please ensure that you include a check to determine if an invalid character is entered' thats the part i am not getting.

@pweezy-f

You would have to check if either are entered else you send them back to the decision screen (output in this case screen)


1. At the point you output a message for them to press Y or N.
2. You would have 2 decision making box. one to check for Y and other N
3. if its not equal to any of the following then simply send them an error message
and back to the output message to select Y or N

I know i wasn't suppose to do this but It kinda easier to understand using images.

you just have to add a decission symbol whether yes or no..... if yes you go back to get length..... if no then you point to end... hope this helps
