You are designing a flow chart to represent a simple program that prints 'Hello, World!' if the user inputs '1' and prints 'Goodbye, World!' if the user inputs '2'. What symbol should you use to represent the decision-making step where the program determines which output to print based on the user's input?
Diamond
Rectangle
Arrow
Circle
The correct symbol for representing a decision in a flow chart is a diamond. This shape is typically used to illustrate points in the program where a yes/no question is being assessed, making it fundamental for branching logic. In this scenario, whether the user inputs '1' or '2' is the branching condition. The rectangle represents a process step, not a decision, so it is not correct. The circle is generally used as a connector or terminator and the arrow represents the flow of control, not a decision.
