Notes:

1) CAWL : clear all working location. It will remove all previous values and make
their intial value to zero.
2) Input box: in this box we write that variables which we take from users.
a. Dont include constant variables in the input box.
b. Variables are separated by coma(,).
3) Processing box: in this box we will write formula for the values expected by user
or required by user.
a. If we want to write two formula at the same time than use one the
following presentation.

SI= SI=
CI=
CI=

4) Print : in this box we will write only that variables which are asked in the
question.
5) Decision box: whenever in the question condition is given than use decision box
to solve that condition.
a. Decision box has only two out flows that is one is yes and other is no.
b. Decision box has only two decision parameters.
i. One variable and other constant.
ii. Both are variables
c. Following are different types of representation

YES YES YES NO

NO NO

d. If conditions are dependent than

i. No of decision box = no of conds 1
e. If conditions are independent than
i. No of decision box = no of conds
6) For finding total use following concept
a. Pfd = Pfd + dep
Here pfd represent total value and dep represent value that we want to
accumulate.
7) If u have to do same thing again and again than use CTR concept for creating
loop.
a. Set ctr to 1
b. Check ctr with the maximum limit that given in question
c. Last increment ctr by 1 as ctr = ctr + 1
8) While defining the name of variables we are not allowed to use special characters
like sign or ?,- etc...
9) Variables store at a time one value only. So if variable get new value than old
value is removed and new value is stored.
10) Except START, CAWL and STOP all other symbol can come multiple times
depending upon question.
Decision Table :
Decision table is management tool to take routine decision for a routine problems.
Decision table is divided in to four parts.
Part 1: Condition Stub
In this part of decision table we are going to write condition which we have to
find from question.
For whiting condition we have to follow following rule:
1. Each be written condition should be written once irrespective of their multiple
occurrence.
2. Dont include complementary part of condition if other part of condition is already
included.

Part 2: Condition Entries

In this part of decision table we are going to define rules based on condition.
No of Condition
No of Rules = 2
After defining rules we are going to fill true and false or yes and no.

Part 3: Action Stub

In this part of decision table we are going to write Action or decision which we
have to take based on condition.

Part 4: Action Entries

In this part of decision table we are going to select action which we have to take
based on decision table.
 Types Of Decision table

Limited Entry Decision Table:

In this table we merge duplicate rules and make table smaller.
Limited
Condition Entry rule:
for merging Extended decision Mixed Decision
1. Decision table Before merging any
table two rules check there Action entries.
table If
it is same than go for next condition
2. If action entries of both are same than check there
corresponding condition entries . in that all should be match except one if that is
true than merge the rules.

Condition for merging Not applicable:

We can merge not applicable with any of rule based on
check there corresponding condition entries. In that all should be match except
one if that is true than merge the rules

11. Input two numbers from the keyboard Swap/Exchange their values. (By using
2 and 3 variables).

12. Input for 500 Salesmen, their names and sales figures.
Draw a flowchart to calculate the commission based on the following set of
rules:
 1. If the sales is less than ` 500 then there is no commission.
2. If the sales are ` 500 or above but less than ` 5,000 then the commission is
computed @ 10% of the sales.

Question 1
A bank uses the following rules to classify new accounts.
If depositor's age is 21 or above and if the deposit is Rs 100 or more, classify the
account type
as A.
If the depositor is under 21 and the deposit is Rs 100 or more, classify it as type B.
If the depositor is 21 or over and deposit is below Rs 100 classify it as C. If the depositor
is
under 21 and deposit is below Rs 100 do-not open account.
