RAPTOR Flowchart Code Generator: Generating Code for Java and C++

The RAPTOR tool is a great way to simplify the complexities of programming by visualizing the logic through flowcharts. Flowcharts break down complex processes into clear, visual steps, making it easier to understand the underlying code. In this article, we’ll explore how RAPTOR generates code for Java and C++ from flowcharts.

Code Generation for Java and C++

One of the key features of RAPTOR is its ability to convert flowcharts into actual code. This feature is particularly helpful for beginners who are learning to program in Java or C++. After designing your flowchart, RAPTOR can generate the corresponding code snippet, allowing you to see how your visual logic translates into real programming syntax.

Steps to Generate Code

  1. Design Your Flowchart: Begin by dragging and dropping different shapes to create your flowchart. Use directional arrows to logically connect them.
  2. Input Your Logic: Enter the specific actions or decisions required for each shape in your flowchart.
  3. Generate Code: Once the flowchart is complete, click the “Generate Code” option. RAPTOR will generate the corresponding Java or C++ code.

Menu Options

  • C++: Select Generate >> C++
  • Java: Select Generate >> IT05 Java

Example: Even or Odd Number Check

Let’s look at an example where we want to create a program that checks if a number is even or odd. Here’s how the flowchart for this program would look in RAPTOR:

Create Flowchart:

  • Start: Use an oval to mark the beginning of the program.
  • Input: Use a rectangle to prompt the user to enter a number.
  • Decision: Use a diamond shape to check if the number is divisible by 2.
  • Output: Based on the decision, use two rectangles to display whether the number is even or odd.
  • End: Use an oval to indicate the end of the program.

Save the Flowchart: Once complete, save the flowchart with the .rap file extension.

Generate Java Code

After completing the flowchart, generate the Java (or C++) code. RAPTOR will output a clean program that mirrors the logic you visualized in your flowchart, making it easier to understand how flowcharts and code align.
