System flow chart
This describes the data flow for a data processing system. It provides a logical diagram of
how the system operates. It represents the flow of documents and the operations
performed in a data processing system. A system flowchart also reflects the relationships
between inputs, processing and outputs.
Program flow chart
It represents in detail, the various steps to be performed within the system for
transforming the input into output. The various steps are logical/arithmetic operations,
algorithms, etc. Program flowcharts serve as the basis for discussions and communication
between the system analysts and programmers. Program flowcharts are quite helpful to
programmers in organizing their programming efforts. These flow charts constitute an
important component of documentation for an application.
