Flowgorithm is a beginner-friendly programming language in which a user would have to create a flowchart for carrying forward a task, which means in a programming language you would have to code it thoroughly to create and start a task.
- 1 day ago Using Flowgorithm or python, create a program to get a compound proposition from the user and determine whether it is satisfiable by checking its truth value for all positive assignments of truth values to its propositional variables.
- Flowgorithm is a free beginner's programming language that is based on simple graphical flowcharts. Typically, when a student first learns to program, they often use one of the text-based programming languages.

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[edit]
The name is a portmanteau of 'flowchart' and 'algorithm'.[3]
Supported programming languages[edit]
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[edit]
Besides English, Flowgorithm supports other spoken languages. These are:[4]
- Arabic
- Chinese (Simplified & Traditional)
- Czech
- Dutch
- French
- Galician
- German
- Hungarian
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Mongolian
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Slovenian
- Spanish - Mexican and Castilian dialects
- Thai
- Turkish
- Ukrainian
Graphical shapes[edit]
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. As of version 2.22.1 Flowgorithm lacks break and continue statements making it impossible to create more complex algorithms.
Example[edit]
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.
Flowgorithm Examples
