C
omputers programmers use flow chart to help people understand how events are sequenced. All the shapes on this chart have a particular meaning. For example, the circles indicate a starting or stopping point, the triangles are questions and the ovals are answers.
This flow chart shows how to get a drink from a machine. It shows that the first step is to find a machine. Next ask yourself if you have the correct change. When the answer to this question is “yes”, ask yourself what you want to drink. For example, lemon soda. Finally, insert the coins and press the button to choose the drink you want. Once the drink appears, you may take it from the machine.
