which one out of the following is not a flowchart symbol?
Explanation
The correct answer is (c) Triangle.
In standard flowcharting notation, a triangle is not typically used as a primary symbol to represent processes, decisions, or flow control. The other shapes serve specific functions:
Circle: Often used as an "on-page connector" to link different parts of a flowchart on the same page.
Rectangle: Represents a process or action step.
Diamond: Represents a decision point where a condition is evaluated.
To mathematically represent the functional usage of these shapes, we can denote the set of standard flowchart symbols as S={Terminal,Process,Decision,Connector}. If we map the given options to these standard functions, we can say:
f(Rectangle)→Process
f(Diamond)→Decision
