Does the template include a loop?

Yes. The “Found?” decision sends “No” back to “More items?” so the scan repeats. “Yes” and the empty-list path both reach End.

Can I turn pseudocode into this diagram?

Paste Mermaid flowchart syntax on the Mermaid to flowchart page, or edit this template by hand.

Algorithm flowchart template

An algorithm flowchart spells out a procedure: read input, test a condition, repeat, and stop. This starter walks a list until it finds a match or runs out of items. Open it, then replace the labels with your own steps. FlowSimp is completely free to use — no sign-up required.

Symbols in the starter

Circle — start and end.
Rectangle — read the list, compare, return.
Diamond — more items, and found or not.
Labeled arrows — Yes and No branches.

Change “Read the list” to your input step.
Keep the diamond for the loop test and the diamond for the success test.
Point the failure arrow back at the test, not at Start, unless the procedure really restarts.
