The instruction format that uses arrows, boxes, and a small amount of text to express actions, events, or decisions is called a flowchart. Flowcharts are used to visually represent a process or a sequence of steps in a clear and concise manner. They use various shapes (such as rectangles, diamonds, circles, and arrows) to represent different elements and their relationships. The boxes represent actions or events, the arrows indicate the flow of the process, and the text inside the boxes describes the specific actions or decisions to be made. By following the directional flow of the arrows, one can understand the sequence of steps or actions to be taken.
