 Flow diagrams Start

INPUT num1
• Flow diagrams show the
different routes a user
may take through a INPUT num2
program.
answer = num1 + num2
• So far all our programs
have been sequential
and each line would be OUTPUT answer
run, one after the other.

 Decision diamond
Yes num > No
10?
OUTPUT OUTPUT “Not
“Over 10” over 10”
• A decision diamond has one input and two
possible outputs.
• It allows the program to take a different
route, depending on if it meets the criteria (in
this case if num is greater than 10).
