Flowgorithm is a graphical authoring tool which uses flowcharts to allow students to write and execute programs. The approach is designed to emphasize the algorithm rather than the syntax of specific programming language. The flowchart can be converted to several major programming languages: C#, Java, Visual Basic .NET and Python.[1]
Origin of name
The name is a merging of the terms "flowchart" and "algorithm".
Graphical shapes
Flowgorithm combines the classic flowchart symbols and those used by SDL diagrams.
Example
