Algorithm Diagrams

[efgarroh]

Recently, I decided take an online tutorial course on C++. Doing the first Lab problems, I realized that it's best to graphically understand the problem by creating a diagram of the algorithm and then coding it. Back in the 80's when I took my first programming course ( Fortram ) that's how we did it. We used to do a hand sketch. However, Fortram in not C++. Any suggestions as to which program or method to use when creating these diagrams?

Cheers

you can write a sort of rough code fastly(also called Pseudo code) and start programming for smaller problems.
If the problem is bit complex, better use a flowchart which completely describes the flow(steps) in the program, with major details.
