Which component in a flow diagram indicates a decision point?

In a flow diagram, the diamond shape is used to represent a decision point. This is where the flow can branch based on a yes/no question or a true/false condition. For example, if you have a process that requires making a choice—such as "Is the user logged in?"—the diamond shape clearly indicates that a decision is needed, leading to different paths or outcomes depending on the answer.

The rectangle typically represents a process or action, the circle could denote a connector or endpoint rather than a decision, and the parallelogram is often used for input/output operations. Thus, the diamond is distinctly recognized as the symbol for decision-making in flow diagrams.
