Abstract

Several rationales for flowcharting computer programs are discussed along with weaknesses, strengths, and current trends. One often over-looked motivation is the use of “macro-flowcharts” to compare, for pedagogical reasons, the gross features of various classes of processes involved in applied programs. The techniques and virtues of this approach are the focus of the paper.
