Definition of Flowchart
Flowchart is a means to visually present the flow of data
through an information processing systems, the operations
performed within the system and the sequence in which they
are performed.
Flow is a representation of a series of
logic operations to satisfy specific
requirements. A flow exists naturally. It
can be irregular, unfixed or full of
problems.
Chart, or diagram, is a presentation or
a written description of some regular
and common parts of the flow. A chart
is conducive to communication and
concentration and offers references
for process reengineering.
