Understanding Flowcharts in Algorithms

What shape is typically used to represent input and output in a flowchart?

• Parallelogram

• Rectangle

• Diamond

• Oval

Which flowchart shape is used to depict a process like addition or division?

• Oval

• Diamond

• Parallelogram

• Rectangle

What is the best practice when starting to create a flowchart?

• Avoid using any text

• Use only one shape for simplicity

• Write the text first then draw the shape

• Draw the shapes first

What is the purpose of a diamond shape in a flowchart?

• To make a decision

• To show the start or end of a process

• To denote a subroutine

• To represent input/output

In flowcharting, what does an oval shape generally signify?

• The start or end of a process

• A decision point

• A subroutine

• A process step

Why is it important to use variables in a flowchart?

• To clearly show where data is coming from

• To avoid using shapes

• To simplify the diagram

• To reduce the number of lines

What common mistake should be avoided when creating flowcharts?

• Not showing the flow of data clearly

• Being too specific with variables

• Using only one shape

• Using too many shapes

How should a decision be represented in a flowchart?

• With a parallelogram

• With an oval

• With a rectangle

• With a diamond

What is the correct way to handle a number greater than 10 in the provided flowchart example?

• Multiply by 5 and output the result

• Output the number directly

• Add 5 and output the result

• Subtract 5 and output the result

What shape is used for subroutines in flowcharts?

• Simple rectangle

• Rectangle with double lines

• Diamond

• Oval
