What is a traditional flowchart?

1. The traditional flow chart is shown in the following figure:

2. Detailed explanation of the flow chart:

(1) Define three variables, namely I (for cycle counting), M (for saving a relatively large value) and A (for entering a value).

(2) assign a value to the loop variable I.

(3) Input the first number A, assign the value of A to M, and initialize the value of M

(4) Enter the loop, and first judge whether the loop condition is compounded in the loop. If it meets the condition, input a new value A, and compare the value of A with the previous value of M. The larger value is assigned to M, and the loop variable I+1; If it doesn't meet the requirements, the variable m with a relatively large value is output, and the result is obtained

. Simply put, two numbers are compared, the larger value is saved, and finally output.

Flow Chart: It is an excellent method to use graphics to express the idea of algorithm, because a thousand words are not worth a picture. Flowchart has been applied in assembly language and early BASIC language environment. There is also a related PAD diagram, which is very suitable for PASCAL or C language.

Flowchart is an effective way to reveal and master the motion state of closed system. As a diagnostic tool, it can assist decision-making, let managers know clearly where the problem lies, and thus determine the alternative action plan.

the basic structure of the flow chart includes: sequence structure, conditional structure (also called selection structure), cyclic structure and branching structure.
