The correct answer is "B". These are basic flowchart symbols.

Symbol A is for Preparation
Symbol B is for Manual Operation
Symbol C is for Decision
Symbol D is a Terminator

Considering that an increasing number of Americans are engaging in the manual activity of over-eating, could the answer be the round shape for choice: D? :laughing7:

What the heck is a flowchart and is that something a normal person should know? :tongue3:

Is a flowchart computer related? :help:

I see 4 different shapes. One is a diamond and another a trapezoid. I dont know the names of the other 2 shapes. I never heard of a flowchart and someone will have to explain this to me please.

I looked it up and it appears to be computer related. That would explain it because I went to school before the age of computers and Im self-taught. Thanks everyone.

Does anyone use flowchart templates anymore? Cause I have one in the bottom of my drawer. Waiting to be able to sell it on eBay for big bucks. :laughing7:

Flowcharts are not new, nor are they just computer related.

Schematics are a type of flowchart.

Here are some examples of flowcharts. They are used every day by lots of folks. For mechanics, troubleshooting of any type, to learn how a system of any kind works, etc.

Here are some samples:

Thats what I was trying to figure out. I keep looking below to try and find the flowchart. They post 4 shapes and call it a flowchart? Sheesh.

I thought it was an ambiguous question. I was trying to figure out which shape took the most manual activity to sketch. Im thinking what a dumb question.

OK rub it in. You really make me feel dumb.

I have used mechanics charts before but never paid any attention to the shapes. TN is a constant learning experience.

I meant to say I self taught myself to use a computer. I learned to join TN to post a find here on this forum. I didnt even know what a mouse was when I joined.

I dont remember any mention of flowchart in high school, my highest education. :icon_scratch:

I'm sorry - I wasn't trying to do that - you just said you hadn't seen a flowchart, and I wanted to show you enough of them, so that you knew that you actually DID know what a flowchart was.

I think if you weren't being "tested" - you might have actually known the answer, because we've all used them at one time
or another. We just don't always call them flowcharts.

Come to think of it - I think the only reason I learned it in school was because of my short class in mechanical drawing. Since then, my jobs (and fixing equipment and vehicles on the farm) have been the main places I used them. And then, of course, at work - troubleshooting the equipment, we had to use a flowchart, and when I worked in the water treatment plant, the Federal government gives you a flowchart (though they call it a different name, too), for
chemical spills, emissions, etc.

I think it would be a super idea to teach that in school - it gets used in every factory in the world. They just call them "Standards of Operation" - but they are set up as flowcharts.

We (especially us older folks) have definitely had to self-teach ourselves LOTS of stuff. I remember being a little annoyed at being called by our parents bcause they couldn't set the clock on the vcr (they insisted on unplugging it before going to bed). Now, I am them - I still haven't been able to make my new "does everything" blu-ray disc player play off my computer. :BangHead: - Even though it has a troubleshooting flow chart. :evil5: :dontknow:

No, I would not have known that answer in a million years. I was trying to figure out what shape would take the most manual effort to sketch lol. If I was to guess, I would think a flowchart was water related.

I am not ashamed to feel dumb on occasion, dont worry Beth. Thanks for the explanation. ;D :laughing9:
