25.6 LIMITATIONS OF USING FLOWCHARTS
The flowcharts' importance lies in the fact it is a tool and the importance of any tool is to help perform a job. Creating a flowchart can help develop a more comprehensive understanding of how information, data, and ideas flow together. It can also simplify these same components into an easy to understand representation of a complicated structure. Visual tools are important for visual learners as well as being important to help with visualizing certain relationships in much the same way as a family tree is used to create an understanding of one's ancestors. This is certainly one of the prime advantages of a flowchart.
Flow chart allow you to see a particular set of data or activities going thru an application in diagrams instead of codes.
The disadvantage is the technique was created with the assumption of "single thread" because that was the environment at the creation of flow chart. It could not show the other activities at the same time.
For example, it may be easy to see a flow chart of a person breathing in and out of air. However, it will be difficult to show what a heart is doing while the air being suck into lungs, or what the person is doing at the same time (other than breathing).
advantages of flow chart
a)Easy to analyze the program
b)Especially for c language where structure is important it helps a lot.
c)Focus in logic.
d)without a good flowchart you cannot write a software.
e)conditional statements are easy to analyze.
f)occupies less paper compared to a large progs having huge statements....
There are quite a few disadvantages of using a flow chart. Flow charts often will have a great deal of error based on the actual process that lays out.
Too low level for most modern applications.
flowchart is a graphical representation of algorithm. it represents the algorithm or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various fields. Flowcharts contain symbols, such as connectors, usually represented as circles, to represent converging paths in the flowchart.some types of flowcharts:Document flowcharts, showing controls over a document-flow through a systemData flowcharts, showing controls over a data flows in a systemSystem flowcharts showing controls at a physical or resource levelProgram flowchart, showing the controls in a program within a system
Flowchart means pictorial representing of an algorithm.

Flowcharts are sometimes the preferred tool to describe an algorithm because a flowchart can visualize a simple algorithm effectively, or can outline the major steps in a more complex algorithm. In comparison with natural language prose, flowcharts tend to be less ambiguous.It must be noted, however, that flowcharts are not suitable to visualize many types of algorithms. While natural language prose is not always a good alternative due to the inherent ambiguity (and the requirement that all readers need to understand the specific language), other languages, such as the language of mathematical notation, are often used to describe more complex algorithms.The claim embedded in this question that flowcharts are usually used to describe algorithms is an incorrect claim.
You just have to know the symbols of flowchart and make the graphical representation of algorithm
C programs don't contain flowcharts.
Nope, as flowcharts aren't part of C-language. Nonetheless, you can implement algorithms specified by flowcharts in C, but that might lead to unstructured code (also known as 'spaghetti-code'), which is outdated by forty years... Try using stuctograms instead.
