Multiple Choice Questions on Flowchart Start and End Symbols

📚 Quick Study Guide

🚀
• The start symbol in a flowchart indicates the beginning of the process. It is typically represented by an oval or pill-shaped symbol.
🏁
• The end symbol in a flowchart marks the termination point of the process. It is also usually depicted by an oval or pill-shaped symbol, similar to the start symbol.
💡
• Although both start and end symbols have the same shape, a flowchart should only have one start symbol but can have multiple end symbols (especially when representing different possible outcomes).
📝
• The text inside the start symbol typically says "Start", while the text inside the end symbol typically says "End". However, variations such as "Begin" or "Stop" are acceptable.
➡️
• Flow lines always point away from the start symbol and point towards the end symbol.
