Flow chart? How the blazes am I supposed to do this?

Question

Create a flow chart that asks the user to enter a gender either M or F. If M display MALE & if F display FEMALE. Otherwise display "Invalid" & ask the user to reenter the gender. Repeat the process five times.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

your flowchart should be something like this

START  (circle)

WRITE 'ENTER GENDER' (parallelogram)

READ 'GENDER' (square)

IF GENDER = F (diamond)

WRITE 'FEMALE' (parallelogram)

IF GENDER = M (diamond)

WRITE 'MALE' (square)

ELSE WRITE 'INVALID' (square)

LOOP SHOULD BE DRAWN FROM ABOVE (WRITE GENDER)

hope this helps :P

In addition to the previous answer, you should check out this flow charting manual produced by IBM in 1969.  An oldie but a goodie!
