Programming with Structured Flowcharts and Essential Python

Although structured flowcharts have been in use for less than a decade, they have found wide acceptance as an aid to developing software. They may be used for writing new algorithms in a step-wise manner or they may be used for documenting existing programs. The major advantage of structured flowcharts is that they make the control section of a program easier to understand. This is especially true when the person revising the program is different from the one who wrote it-a very common practice. Since it is difficult to make a structured flowchart larger than a page, it automatically encourages modularization of a large program.
