Structure Chart

PreviousGantt ChartNextAlgorithms

Last updated 1 month ago

You need to create a structure chart which shows the main routine (main() function) and all subroutines (other functions). Likely you will not have many control variables or flags except for the API request, which will control whether or not you can search the data.

Example

The following is an example of the rock collection system (not a real API by the way - but it serves for an example of what your system may look like).
