Flowchart else if

Question

I\'m making a flowchart a for an algorithm, and came into some problem for an else if statement.

For an if-statement such as this one

if (something)          


        

Answer 1

Here is the DRAKON version of this:

if (case1) {outcome1}
else if (case2) {outcome2}
else {outcome3}

Alternatively, it could look like this:

See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAKON

Answer 2

You could diagram this as two separate if statements.

I don't know if this is the "standard" method, but that's what I do.

Answer 3

For starters, let's recast the statement.

if (case1) {outcome1}
else if (case2) {outcome2}
else {outcome3}

Does it not flow thus?

case1? yes --> outcome1

no --> case2? yes --> outcome2

no --> outcome3

Answer 4

http://code2flow.com allows you to create such flowcharts from code.
