Flowgorithm is a graphical authoring tool which allows users to write and execute programs using flowcharts. The approach is designed to emphasize the algorithm rather than the syntax of a specific programming language.[1] The flowchart can be converted to several major programming languages. Flowgorithm was created at Sacramento State University.[2]

Origin of name

The name is a portmanteau of "flowchart" and "algorithm".[3]

Supported programming languages

Flowgorithm can interactively translate flowchart programs into source code written in other programming languages. As the user steps through their flowchart, the related code in the translated program is automatically highlighted. The following programming languages are supported:[4]

Multilingual support

Besides English, Flowgorithm supports other spoken languages. These are:[4]

  • Arabic
  • Chinese (Simplified & Traditional)
  • Czech
  • Dutch
  • French
  • Galician
  • German
  • Hungarian
  • Indonesian
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Mongolian
  • Persian
  • Polish
  • Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Slovenian
  • Spanish - Mexican and Castilian dialects
  • Thai
  • Turkish
  • Ukrainian

Graphical shapes

Flowgorithm combines the classic flowchart symbols and those used by SDL diagrams. The color of each shape is shared by the associated generated code and the console window. The colors can be changed to several built-in themes.


Example

The image below has the solution for 99 Bottles of Beer. A function is used to return a string that either contains the singular "bottle" or plural "bottles" depending on the value of the parameter.
