The target of the flowchart to get the sum of integer numbers from 1 to 3
The variables I have:
- N stands for the initial value
- sum
so my question is why is variable N considerd a counter and why sum is considerd an accumulating variable

That makes absolutely no sense. – Mitch Wheat Jan 03 '14 at 09:38

I reformatted the question to try to make sense of it. – ljgw Jan 03 '14 at 09:41

I suppose N is used as a control variable in a loop. (it goes from 1 to 2 to 3 - as a counter) and sum is updated on every iteration of the loop (it accumulates 1, 2 and 3 to form the result).
