Best flowchart software?

So, I heard there’s this tool out there for building flowcharts—basically, you feed it a problem and it spits out the solution... Does anyone actually know anything about this, or if there's a specific name for a program like that?

I have to say, that sounds a bit like telling me, "I heard Santa Claus is real; you just write him a letter and he brings you... uh, candy and chocolate." 🙂

But, let's indulge the fantasy for a second: what would be the actual, practical benefit of using something like that? It’s almost like enrolling in a high-end culinary institute just so you can "help" yourself with a machine where you toss in some flour and water, hit a button, and suddenly a cake appears.

I’d rather build it myself first and then run it through the tool... because if I actually want to learn anything, I need someone to point out my mistakes. 😉 If I just let it generate everything, I'll naturally assume it's right, when in reality, it could be completely off. 😉

I'm assuming you mean you'll provide the code first 😁 I highly doubt there's some magic software that turns your random sentences into a flowchart—at least nothing mainstream, anyway 🤣

attempt with Code Visualizer

It doesn't actually paraphrase my wording; I just feed it the raw data, and then it supposedly spits out the procedure and the solution

Just scroll through this subforum—go back a few pages or so—there was already a thread about this including a link to the software.

I just searched, but I'm coming up empty... any ideas?

I can't seem to find the right thread for this... anyway, give this a shot—it's free software: http://www.scilab.org/products/scilab/features

I’ve got this engine hour meter that uses decimals, where one decimal point represents something like 6 minutes of run time. I'm trying to figure out how to write a formula so that a second column automatically converts that number into actual hours. Any ideas on how to set that up? Thanks

If I’ve managed to grasp the core of what you're asking here—and I hope I haven't completely misread the situation—then the answer is pretty straightforward:
In your first column, you just log the engine runtime in minutes. Then, in the second column, you convert those minutes into hours. So, if you have 30 minutes typed into cell A1, you'd go into cell B1 and punch in the formula =A1/60. That’s going to spit out a result of 0,5 hours
