Question

I am attempting to remake a diagram that shows the process of my color mixer program in C++.

I have learned a new method of calling functions in a certain order to make the code nicer. I am still having some trouble learning how to make a flow-chart that uses proper shapes and symbols to diagram the program in a flow chart. 

What are the best practices for the most professional flow-chart?

My program is:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <limits> 
 
 
using namespace std;
 
string mixColors(int color1, int color2) {
string mixedColor;
 
        if ((color1 == 0 && color2 == 1) || (color1 == 1 && color2 == 0)) {
            mixedColor = "purple";
        } else if ((color1 == 0 && color2 == 2) || (color1 == 2 && color2 == 0)) {
            mixedColor = "orange";
        } else if ((color1 == 1 && color2 == 2) || (color1 == 2 && color2 == 1)) {
            mixedColor = "green";
        } else {
            mixedColor = "No Mix";
        }
return mixedColor;
}
 
 
int getUserInput() {
int color;
    
 
cout << "Enter a prime color: " << endl; 
    cout << "'0' for red, '1' for blue', and '2' for yellow: ";
    
    while (!(cin >> color) || color < 0 || color > 2) {
        cout << "Invalid input! Please enter a valid color ('0', '1', or '2'): ";
 
        cin.clear();
        cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n');
    }
    return color;
}
 
int main() {
    string arr[] = {"red", "blue", "yellow"};
    int color1, color2;
    string mixedColor;
    char choice;
    
    ofstream outputFile("color_mixer_results.txt"); // opens file that truncates 
 
    
        do {
        color1 = getUserInput();
        color2 = getUserInput();
    mixedColor = mixColors(color1, color2);
        
        // below is where input inside do while loop is writ to .txt file
        outputFile << "Mixed color for your selection (" << color1 << " and " << color2 << ") is " << mixedColor << endl;
 
 
        cout << "Mixed color for your selection (" << color1 << " and " << color2 << ") is " << mixedColor << endl;
 
        cout << "Would you like to mix again? (Y/N): ";
        cin >> choice;
} while (toupper(choice) == 'Y');
 
 
    outputFile.close(); // closing output file
 
cout << "Results have been saved in 'color_mix_results.txt'. Goodbye!" << endl;
 
return 0;
}
