1 answer

In programming, four primary flowcharting symbols commonly used are:

  1. Oval (Terminator): Represents the start and end points of a flowchart. It typically contains the words "Start" or "End."

  2. Rectangle (Process): Indicates a process or action step. This symbol represents any operation, such as calculations, assignments, or other activities.

  3. Diamond (Decision): Represents a decision point in the flowchart, typically involving a Yes/No or True/False question that directs the flow based on the outcome.

  4. Parallelogram (Input/Output): Used to denote input to or output from a process, such as receiving data from a user or displaying results.

These symbols help in visually outlining the logic and flow of algorithms or processes in programming.
