Tutorial - Building a Flowchart

This brief tutorial will guide you through building and executing a simple flowchart.

 

We would like a flowchart that asks the user for a number, and then counts down to zero (displaying each number to the MasterConsole).

 

1. Start Raptor.

 

2. Add a Input symbol to the flowchart by left-clicking once on the Input symbol and then adding it between Start and End.  Double click to add the prompt "Enter a number:" and use the variable name Count.

 

 

3. Next, add a Loop structure and edit its expression to

 

 Count < 0

 

4. Add an Output symbol to output the variable Count to the MasterConsole.

 

 

5. Add an Assignment symbol to decrement the value of Count.  Edit the statement to

 

 Count = Count - 1

 

 

6. To execute the flowchart, click on .
