Flowchart - GCSE Computer Science Definition

A flowchart is a diagram that shows the steps in a process using different shapes like boxes and arrows. Each shape represents a different type of action or decision, helping you to visually understand how a process works. In GCSE Computer Science, flowcharts are used to plan out programs or systems in a clear and simple way before you start writing any code. This makes it easier to spot problems and organise your thoughts as you work on solving computer science tasks. When you follow a flowchart, it guides you step by step through a sequence of actions or decisions.
