If i want to create a program, do i need a flowchart?

Question

in computer science, there are 2 important factors: flowcharts and pseudocodes. do i really need flowcharts when i find out that pseudocode is easier and reduces time for writing.

Answer 1

We were also taught about how we will need flowcharts and pseudocodes before writing our programs. Methinks this applies to sufficiently large and complicated programs. If you are already comfortable enough to think in C++ directly, why would you write those? :>

Answer 2

Do whatever works for you

Answer 3

No. If you can have overview over the code and know which part is responsible for which feature, that is the most important.

Flowcharts can be handy, but nowadays code is not that procedural anymore.

I use them somethime to define which steps a user has to take, but certainly not to document all of my code.
