 Terminal/Terminator is used to

indicate the beginning and

ending points of a flowchart.
(Start/Stop: Begin/End)

 Input/Output is used to
indicate where data are entered
into the flowchart and also
where results are printed.
 Process is used to specify
some action to be taken. An
arithmetic or replacement
operation might be specified.

 Decision is used to indicate a

decision point. A comparison
may be made or a question may
be asked. Two flowlines
emanate from this shape
indicating a "Yes" or a "No".
Whatever the answer is, the
appropriate flowline is followed

to the next symbol.
 On-page Connector is used when a
flowline has to be broken because of space
limitations on the same page. The shape
contains a single character (alphanumeric)
and the sequence continues with another
shape, which contains the same character.

 Off-page Connector is used when a

lowline has to be broken because of
page limitations and to be continued
on the next page. The shape contains a
single character (alphanumeric) and
the sequence continues with another
shape, which contains the same
character.
  Flowlines or more specifically
arrow lines, determine the flow
of information through the
chart, thus, the sequencing of
information

 Note: Flowcharting symbols and techniques can vary from one book to another, or from
one software package to another
