This flowchart starts by setting a variable number to 1.

It then checks if number is less than or equal to 5.

If yes, it prints the current number, then adds 1 to number.

The flow returns to the decision to check the condition again.

When number becomes 6, the condition fails and the flowchart ends.

This repeats the print action 5 times, printing numbers 1 through 5.

[intermediate] Draw a flowchart that prints even numbers from 2 to 10 using a loop.

[advanced] Draw a flowchart that asks the user to enter a password repeatedly until the correct password 'secret' is entered.
