Week 23: Working with Flowcharts

November 3-7

HI PEOPLETS! 

JavaScript never fails to surprise us, every day and every week, it offers something new.  

After encoding all the unfinish files for JavaScript 4, As a tradition in the ICT Class, Sir Peralta will discuss those. During the discussion, He told us to open the google drive. At first I thought we are going to save something but it was a mistake, We are going to make a flowchart using the document app of our google drive. And I was like, "Flowchart? for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" hahaha I have a wide range of knowledge of using the Microsoft Word but in this certain activity, I don't know how and where to start. Google Drive Documents and MS Word is a the same thing but It feels like I'm working with a different thing. It's like travelling to a new but familiar place but still, you will find yourself lost during your journey. 

So, Sir Peralta asked us to make a flowchart from the JS 4 files that we've made. But before it, Sir Peralta gave us instructions on how to make a flowchart. What are the proper and desired box shapes for a certain command, Of course, I  can't expect myself to love flowcharts immediately because informations about it is still buffering in my mind, trying to digest the things that Sir has told us.

But during my figuring-out session with flowcharts, I learned a lot of things like you'll start with Oblong shape, This shape depicts the start or stop point in a process. And you'll use line segments and lines with pointed edge in connecting things. A Rectangular shape represents a process, task, action, or operation. This shape represents something to be done or an action to be taken. A Diamond shape denotes a question or a decision. Most of the time, you see two branches emanating from a Decision shape – these are Yes and No responses.  A Parallelogram shape is used to show input or output from a data source. A Hexagon shape is used for initialization. And A Circle shape is used as a connector, to connect one point of the chart with another without having to draw a line. 

So many shapes to deal with but as we always say, Keri lang! Hihi Those are the things that I've learn this week in our ICT Class. I hope that you've learned something from it. Bye! =)
