Common mistake

Azar(6) gives 0 to 5; that's why you add 1 to simulate a die.

In a flowchart

This is how it appears in a flowchart, with the same shapes Codoritmo draws.

dado ← Azar(6) + 1
Used inside a calculation. It has no shape of its own; it's used inside a calculation. Flowchart: a process rectangle reading "dado ← Azar(6) + 1", with one arrow in and one arrow out.
