Flowcharts are to programming like outlines are to a paper.
If you take the time to flowchart what you want your program to do, it will make it easier to write the code and debug if needed.

The flowchart is the first attempt at putting together a program. Your flowchart should be broken down into logical blocks of define able processes such as; decisions, branches taken depending on the results of the decision, I/O processing etc.
The flowchart can be a summary of what the program must accomplish or it can be a fine detail that allows anyone working with the program the opportunity to trace out the logical steps necessary to resolve the programs' intentions.
This can be considered a form of debugging long before a line of code is written and flaws in logic or inconsistencies in data can be determined and corrected in the flowchart.

I don't know either and don't think that this is a right place to get your problem resolved. There are flowchart programs available for different professions like engineering or accounting etc. but even then you have to very well understand the entire system to draw a flowchart isn't it?

Flowcharts are just a way of showing how the program is going to flow is certain situations come up.
For example, if x = 4, go over down this path, if it's not, go over down to this path.
If you take a look at the picture I've provided you can see how it even applies to real life. It's basically just the flow of information.

You never find a software as you like. In all programming languages, you have to write code. But Flowchart is the base of all programming

There are plenty of resources on the web. Try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowcharts

the below link is for beginners... if still in doubt, pls b specific wat you dint understand....
Its basically a pictorial representation of a program flow (step by step execution). u just need to know 5-6 basic symbols and u can do anything with them... its not too difficult, trust me :)

I guess you need a tutor if understanding is really important to you.
