In a BA 180.1 class, we were able to discuss about how to plan a computer program by the means of making diagrams. By constructing flowcharts, a programmer can outline his/her desired program by following a set of steps in the forms of shapes and arrows. With these, the programmer can have a model that systematically illustrates how his/her program will function, and with this as a guide, he/she can successfully set up the planned program. An internet application that is open to the public and can be used to create flowcharts is Gliffy.com. In our class, our groups were tasked to create flowcharts that show how the voting process occurs. With the help of my groupmates, we were able to successfully create a logical flowchart, and at the same time, have fun with the application.

I, myself, am not unknown to the flowchart construction activity. In my computer class in High School, we were assigned to create flowcharts of random daily activities that served as an introduction to our module. In what I remember, I was assigned to create a flowchart on how to brush my teeth. Although this step of creating a flowchart may seem too simple and dull to some, it is still very significant since it serves as the master plan to any brilliant program. It is like the blueprint to the Empire State Building or the recipe to the perfect crème brulee.

Flowcharts can also be used just for fun. This is an example of a humorous flowchart.
