Flowchart Design Concept
FLOWCHART SYMBOLS A N D USAGE

Flowcharts utilize a variety of symbols such as

start/end, process, decision, and input/output
to represent algorithmic processes.
Understanding the usage and interpretation of
these symbols is crucial for creating effective
flowcharts. By mastering flowchart symbols,
one can convey complex algorithms in a clear
and structured manner.
 UND ERSTANDING FLOWCHART

A Flowchart is a step-by-step procedure

for solving a problem or accomplishing a
task. It is essential to understand the
characteristics of effective flowchart,
including input, output, and processing.
By mastering flowchart design, one can
optimize problem-solving processes and
enhance efficiency.
WHAT IS A FLOWCHART?

A flowchart is a visual representation of

a process, displaying the steps as
symbols connected by arrows. It serves
as a tool for analyzing, designing, and
documenting processes. Various symbols
and their meanings are used to depict
different actions.
TYPES OF FLOWCHART S Y M B O L S

Flowchart symbols include terminator,

process, decision, input/output, and flow
lines. Each symbol represents a specific
action or step in the process.
Understanding these symbols is crucial for
interpreting flowcharts effectively.
START/END SYMBOL

The oval-shaped symbol represents begin and en of

a process. It is used to signify the beginning or
conclusion of a sequence of operations within a
flowchart.
 PROCESS SYMBOL
The rectangular symbol denotes a or action to be
performed. It is used to depict specific tasks,
calculations, or operations within the algorithm or
data structure.
 DECISION SYMBOL

The diamond-shaped symbol signifies a decision point

where a question is asked, usually answered with yes or
no. It is used to represent conditional statements in the
algorithm or data structure.
FLOW ARROW SYMBOL

The arrow symbolizes the flow of

control within the flowchart. It is used
to show the direction of the process
flow from one step to the next.
 LOOP SYMBOL

The curved arrow symbol represents a loop

or repetitive operation. It is used to depict
iterations or looping structures within the
algorithm or data structure.
 U ND ERSTANDING
FLOWCHART S Y M B O L S

In-depth understanding of flowchart

symbols such as process, decision, and
input/output is crucial for
interpreting flowcharts accurately.
Each symbol conveys a specific action
or step within the process, guiding the
flow of the diagram.
 CREATING EFFECTIVE
FLOWCHARTS

To create effective flowcharts, it's

important to define the process,
identify the key steps, and use
appropriate symbols. Additionally,
maintaining simplicity and clarity is
crucial for ensuring that the flowchart
is easily understandable by all
stakeholders.
03
