PH3110 BSc projects / PTD

Introduction

This TWiki topic collects some information that is relevant to the numerical simulation projects for PH3110 that are supervised by PTD.

Program structure / Flowchart

When developing a new computer program, it is essential to plan the main structure of the program before starting to actually write any code. Good code is modular and well documented. One key tool to help plan the structure of a computer program is to prepare a flowchart for the whole program, highlighting the main tasks/algorithms that the code will perform and the order they will be performed in. Separate additional flowcharts can also be used to provide further detail on certain parts of the code (eg if they are quite complex, and need a flowchart in their own right).

The following web pages introduce the basic ideas and conventions behind computer program flowcharts, with examples:

• Flowchart (Wikipedia)
• Flowchart tutorial (Visual Paradigm)
• An introduction to flowcharts (geeksforgeeks.org)
• Computer programming
• Flowchart programming (smartraw)
• Flowchart in programming (programiz)
