The next step after the algorithm development is the flowcharting. Flowcharts are used in programming to diagram the path in which information is processed through a computer to obtain the desired results. Flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm. It makes use of symbols which are connected among them to indicate the flow of information and processing. It will show the general outline of how to solve a problem or perform a task. It is prepared for better understanding of the algorithm.

Basic Symbols used in flowchart design

2. Process: Rectangle
   
3. Decision: Diamond
   
4. Input/Output: Parallelogram
