Thread: Flowchart question: Classes

I wanted to try something different this time so I decided to create a flowchart of the program first, but I'm not sure how to represent a class. My teacher never gor that far, only the basics, decisions and stuff. The program is going to have two classes, how do I represent the functions of each class, should I put the name on the class along with the name of the function?, can someone show me a Flowchart that uses classes? a link or something? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but everything I have learned, except for flowcharts, have been on my own, since the teachers over here don't know anything about programming and I can't do much about that. Thanks in advance.

the way depicted there seems viable to work for a flow chart.

Can someone recommend a book with a good programming-flowchart reference? It seems that once, a long time ago, in a land far away, I had a book with all of the symbols. (?)

What flow-chart software do you use / recommend? Visio? Is there a more economical program? (I only do a little programming at work, and flowcharts aren't "required", so I'd have to pay for it myself.)

I've only used flowcharts when I needed to figure-out some algorithm, or some small part of a program. So, I've drawn them by hand, and everything is just a box.

Did you check Amazon for the books? Check them out and read the reviews. Anyway, I use WizFlow Flowcharter that's the only program I have ever used, it's simple , easy to use and it gets the job done, check the trial version out, maybe you'll like it too.

UML is very popular.

im telling you guys save some money google it up write it down make your own book.

Wiz Flow looks just about right. No, darnok, I didn't search Amazon... I'm not looking for a whole freekin' book on flow charting! I was thinking of maybe one chapter with a page or two of symbols. ...Like the table of schematic symbols in every beginning electronics book.

UML looks like overkill for my programs... and I don't want to write them twice! OK, OK, OK... I'm a hardware engineer and I do understand the importance of planning and design. But, that level of structure just doesn't apply to either my current work or hobby programming.

And, I guess you're right, StinkyRyan, I could look-up the symbols on the net. And, although I like having some handy reference books on my bookshelf, I wouldn't want to buy a whole book just for a page of flow-chart symbols... if there was nothing else useful in the book.
