Exercise - Expanding a Program

<sidebar>Sidebar: Taking Flowcode Further</sidebar> This exercise assumes you have created, tested and documented the program described in the exercise Documenting a Flowchart.

Because you have documented the flowchart properly, you can easily and accurately change the program as you know exactly how the program functions and what process it goes through.

Load the Flowcode flowchart

• Open the flowchart called 'Lamp1.fcf' which you created earlier and documented in the exercise Documenting a Flowchart.

Enhancing programs

Now that you have a fully functioning program which is properly documented both by display names of icons and detailed comments, you can manipulate this program integrate it into another system, or expand the program further and turn it into your own expanded system, and even turn it into a full application.

You do not have to massively expand your program to make it more effective, sometimes a little change can make a big difference, adding as little as one component can change the program to be completely suitable for use elsewhere.

What Next?

Now you have effectively developed and expanded a program you can move on to other exercises and learn different areas.
