Ideas in this flowchart

  • Defining and using functions
  • The getDistance function calculates the distance between two points.
  • It receives the coordinates x1, y1, x2, and y2 as parameters.
  • It calculates the differences between the corresponding coordinates.
  • It returns the square-root distance formula result.
  • The getMonthlyPayment function calculates a monthly payment.
  • It receives principle, apr, and terms as parameters.
  • It calculates the monthly rate by dividing the APR by 12.
  • It calculates the payment using the principal, rate, and number of terms.
  • The return keyword specifies the value returned to the calling function.
