Conditional Function Charts

A diamond represents the decision form. This object is always used to ask a query in a process flow. The arrows that emerge from the Diamond are determined by the response to the question. With two arrows coming out of it, this shape is pretty distinctive. One from the bottom point, which represents Yes or True, and one from the right or left point, which represents No or False. To avoid confusion in the process flow, the arrows should always be labelled.

When a conditional flowchart can't solve the problem with a simple Yes or No, there's a Branched Flowchart, which is utilized in a flowchart to illustrate condition testing. Based on the results of the test, a certain course is chosen. A comparison of positive and negative numbers could be the condition. The flowcharts used in branching in their most basic form.
