Flowgorithm Software Portable Windows releases Nome. Informatica per iniziare: Dietro il Coding. Flowcharts & Algorithms - vol. A decent text editor such as Visual Studio Code, Notepad, TextPad, or jGrasp. Flowgorithm is only available for Windows; if you have a Mac you might be able to use it by setting up a virtual environment. Monday August 24 - Sunday August 30. If you compare a flowchart to a movie, then an algorithm is the story of that movie. In other words, an algorithm is the core of a flowchart. Actually, in the field of computer programming, there are many differences between algorithm and flowchart regarding various aspects, such as the accuracy, the way they display, and the way people feel about them. The Console works, but its simple interface can make it difficult to differentiate user input and program output. So, rather than using the text-only screen, Flowgorithm attempts to make it look like a typical instant messenger window. From the programmers point of view, it looks like they are texting with the computer.

Flowcharts |
Flowgorithm is a graphical authoring tool which allows users to write and execute programs using flowcharts. The approach is designed to emphasize the algorithm rather than the syntax of a specific programming language.[1] The flowchart can be converted to several major programming languages. Flowgorithm was created at Sacramento State University.[2]
Origin of name[edit]
The name is a portmanteau of 'flowchart' and 'algorithm'.[3]
Supported programming languages[edit]
Flowgorithm can interactively translate flowchart programs into source code written in other programming languages. As the user steps through their flowchart, the related code in the translated program is automatically highlighted. The following programming languages are supported:[4]
Multilingual support[edit]
Besides English, Flowgorithm supports other spoken languages. These are:[4]
- Arabic
- Chinese (Simplified & Traditional)
- Czech
- Dutch
- French
- Galician
- German
- Hungarian
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Mongolian
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Slovenian
- Spanish - Mexican and Castilian dialects
- Thai
- Turkish
- Ukrainian
Graphical shapes[edit]
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. As of version 2.22.1 Flowgorithm lacks break and continue statements making it impossible to create more complex algorithms.
Example[edit]
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.

Other educational programming languages include:
- LARP
- Scratch
- Blockly, interface used by Scratch to make the code blocks
