Help with flowcharts.

kingcanti (4)
Hello everyone! I am having a bit of trouble in my online c++ class and I need some help drawing a flowchart for my design work. I already did the program without doing the flowchart (I haven't done one before and have no idea what to do). I could use some help creating a flowchart for this program. And are there any places where I can create flowcharts easily on the internet?

  using namespace std;



int main ()
{
	
	
	int selection = 0;
	double input1(0.0);
	double input2(0.0); 
    char indicator('n');

cout << "Welcome to Andrew's C++ Calculator" << endl;

cout << " Please enter two integers to find the sum, difference, product, quotient, square root, and power of " << endl;

for (;;)
 {
 	cin >> input1;
    cin >> input2;

cout << " The difference of "  << input1 << " minus " << input2 << " is " << input1-input2 << endl;

cout << " The sum of " << input1 << " plus " << input2 << " is " << input1+input2 << endl;

cout << " The product of " << input1 << " times " << input2 << " is "  << input1*input2 << endl;

cout << " The quotient of " << input1 << " divided by " << input2 << " is " << input1/input2 << endl;

cout << " The square root of " << input1 << " is " << sqrt( input1 );

cout << input2 << " to the 4th power is " << pow( input2,4 );


}

Umm...Line 18 is pretty bad especially since you never even put a break/return anywhere the program will never end.. Also for( ; ; ) looks tacky I would suggest a while loop and have a code to quit (eg if the user inputs a -99 or something then quit.

As for a flow chart you will put what the program does.


like this

------------------
|Loop forever|
------------------
|
------------------------
|Get 2 user inputs|
------------------------
|
-------------------------
|Compute difference|
--------------------------
|
-------------------
|compute sum|
-------------------

.....


Yours doesn't really have any branches since you have no conditions with multiple paths.

Ahhh okay sweet, thanks a ton. I do have another question because I have to do this for another program and I am freaking out as well. How would I go about making a chart for a program like this?

basically condition's are like this

_____________
|some condition|
---------------------
_____|_______...._________________
|If something....|---|if something else...|
---------------------...---------------------------
______|____........________|___
|do this.......|........|do something|
----------------.........-------------------
_____________|_____
|Next thing in the chart|
-------------------------------
