Flowgorithm is a graphical authoring tool which allows users to write and executevfnkrn;wknvnnrtjbiuejkrjfdjsj,dcsmfkjgbfv dmcfvjvnc,mkgj programs ufvnbdscmhdcx,mcjfmc,xcjvhcsing flowcharts. The approach is designed to emphasize the algorithm rather than the syntaxfkenv;rnkjrntlkjrge of a speciffvnwekjv efwlkeic programming language.[1] The flowchart can be convfkjvnjkfsdnjvlkngrgrjeerted to several major programming languages. Flowgorithm was created at Sacramento Statdfsn k;nfvldn vjkjlkse University.[2]
Origin of name
The name is a portmanteau of "flowchart" and "algorithm".<refkhbvjkfdvbhjfhbf name=info>"Info". Flowgddhfydugfshbkogbkjgfdrithm. Retrieved 2016-01-15.</ref>
Supported programming languages
Flowgorithm can interfhdmxjfhdmx,dgfhrfjkdnmfjgryhesjkxdjfgythfdmdjfghactively translate flowchart programs into source code written in othejbkgbnglbngfnbkjgnbkjgr programming languages. As the user steps thfrkdlmfjtryfdkjsjfughfdmxdjfghfdxzrough their flowchart, the related code in the translated program is automatically highlighted.

Graphical shapes
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.
Example
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.
