Nodes: Computational Units
Nodes are objects on the diagram that accept inputs, return outputs, and perform operations when a program runs.
They are analogous to statements, operators, functions, and subroutines in text-based programming languages.
Anatomy of a Node
Nodes have three components.
|
Icon—Illustrates the purpose of the node. |
|
Input parameters—Pass data into the node. The node uses this data to perform computations. |
|
Output parameters—Pass data from the node to the rest of the diagram after the node executes. |
