How to Make a Flowchart That Uses Two Overloaded Methods

Create a flowchart with two overloaded methods.

Flowcharts offer a highly effective method of visually representing a process. Visual learners will have a much easier time learning a process through the use of a flowchart. A flowchart can vary based upon the complexity of the process being illustrated, including one used to demonstrate the completion of a task using two overloaded methods. Rather than make two separate flowcharts, use one flowchart that arrives at the same result but employs two separate methods.

Instructions

1. Structure your flowchart by creating a key. You can use squares for external entities or sources of data. Next, employ rectangles as your processes. Processes should translate input into output. Arrows will effectively illustrate the order of your processes and data flow. Finally, use open rectangles for your data stores. Data will end up held electronically or by other means at the end of a flowchart.

2. Illustrate your first overloaded method. Use external entities, processes, data flow and data stores in this first method.

3. Illustrate your second overloaded method. Employ external entities, processes, data flow and data stores for this method. If the end data store for both overloaded methods ends up in as the same data store, you can end up with a nice flowchart that starts and ends with the same unit while using alternate methodology to get there.
