Flowchart Symbols Explanation

In flowcharting, specific shapes represent different types of actions or steps:

  • Oval (Terminator): Represents the Start or End of a process.

  • Circle (Connector): Usually used within more complex charts, this symbol connects separate elements across one page.

  • Rectangle: Represents a Process or Action.

  • Diamond: Represents a Decision point (yes/no or true/false).

  • Arrow: Represents the Flow line or direction of the process.

Therefore, the oval symbol is used to represent the start and end of a process.
