Study Notes
Flowchart Overview
- A flowchart is a visual representation of a process, detailing steps, sequences, and decisions involved.
- It utilizes specific symbols to convey actions and thoughts in a clear, organized manner.
Start/End Symbol
- The oval symbol in a flowchart represents the start and end of a process, defining the boundaries of the flow.
Decision/Looping Symbol
- The diamond symbol indicates a point where a decision is made or a loop occurs, allowing for different pathways based on a condition.
Input/Output Symbol
- The parallelogram represents the input and output of data, illustrating where information enters or exits the process.
Processing/Computing Symbol
- The rectangle is used to indicate processing or computational tasks within a flowchart, representing actions or operations performed on data.
Flowline (Arrow) Symbol
- The arrow symbol indicates the direction of flow in the process, connecting different symbols and showing how steps relate to each other.
Summary of Symbols
- Start/End: Oval
- Decision/Looping: Diamond
- Input/Output: Parallelogram
