Programing Techniques

Flow Chart: 

A flow chart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm that uses boxes of different shapes to denote different types of instructions. The actual instructions are written within these boxes using clear and concise statements. These boxes are connected by solid lines having arrow marks to indicate the flow of operation which is the sequence in which the instructions are to be executed. Generally an algorithm is first represented in the form of a flowchart and the flowchart is the then expressed in some programming language to prepare a computer program.

What is Decision Table?

Decision tables are used to define clearly and concisely the word statement of a problem in a tabular form. They can prove to be a powerful tool for defining complex program logic. As the name implies, decision tables reveal what decision or actions the computer is to take as a result of the input data. When the computer has to make a large number of decisions or if there are a large number of different branches within the program, decision tables are particularly useful. In these cases, decision tables are preferred to flowcharts.
