PROCESSING![]() |
Indicates process such as calculation, Data movement or any other kind of internal processing that affects the value of data in a program. |
INPUT/OUTPUT ![]() |
Indicates the point in the program where data is made available to the program through some input device or where processed data is made available for output from the program. Logic Coder provides additional Input/Output and Process symbols that can be used to illustrate more complex or specific kinds of Input/Output or Process operations in a flowchart. |
DECISION ![]() |
Shows the point in the program execution sequence where a jump takes place base on the outcome of a tested condition. In Logic Coder, Decision symbols are used only for establishing loops, case and switch-case structures. |
CONNECTOR ![]() |
Shows the exit from a case, a switch-case control structure or a common point where two or more control logic merges to create a single flow path. Logic Coder uses two concentric circles to distinguish a normal connector from a Switch Case connector. The Switch Case connector is illustrated and explained below. |
TERMINAL ![]() |
Shows the start or end point in the flow of control logic in a single flowchart. A complete flowchart must always have only one terminal symbol that indicates its beginning and a terminal symbol that indicates its termination. Logic Coder looks for a terminal symbol that indicates the start of the flowchart when doing an interconnection operation. |
PREDEFINE ![]() |
Shows a series of predefined processes that can be encapsulated as a single process and therefore represented as a subroutine, i.e. function, procedure or method. Logic Coder also uses the predefine symbol to represent an abstracted control structure. The detailed logic of the control structure is preserved. |
INTERNAL STORAGE ![]() |
Shows an output operation where data is stored internally on the computer system. This storage is usually on a mass storage device such as a Hard disk or CD ROM. Logic Coder does not use this symbol. |
PAGE CONNECTOR ![]() |
Used in multi-page documents to show the point in the program logic where control is pass from the logic on a given page to the logic on another page. Use this symbol when you need to restrict the size of your flowchart document. This may be due to the fact that you ant to print your flowchart on a printer that is restricted. However, Logic Coder will not be able to connect a flowchart that uses the off-page connector symbol. |
ARROWS ![]() |
Shows the flow of program control or data flow. Flow-lines can have any one of four directions. Logic Coder does not use arrows to determine the flow of control logic in a flowchart. The way this is done is explain further on in the manual. Logic Coder provides a function that you can use to see the flow of control logic in a flowchart as determine by Logic Coder. |
COMMENT ![]() |
Used to show points in the program logic where comments are written for the purpose of internal documentation. Logic Coder insert comments written in this symbol into the generated source program. |
