That is the power of dataflow programming. If you program it neatly, you can easily see what is going on.
Typically, inputs are wired in on the left, and outputs come out of the right. So the "flow" of the program will go from left to right, following the necessarily incremental transfer of data through the wires. It's a powerful thing to use, since you can "see" how the program works, instead of reading it, like a text based programming language. (Although, in their defense, if you get good at a text based programming language you can also easily see what's going on. Graphical languages are easier for beginners)
