What the Flow is a Flowchart? 🌊
A flowchart is that glorious diagram helping your genius ideas navigate through a maze of decisions and process steps. It’s like playing connect the dots, but instead, you connect the squares, diamonds, and ovals to solve an intriguing problem.

Let’s crack the code for these special symbols that no one outside of charting enthusiasts seems to get. Think of these as the hieroglyphs of our trade:

B -- No --> D[Grab a Donut];
C --> E[Celebrate];
D --> E

A[Craving Study] --> B{Evaluate Options};
B -- Coffee --> C[Enter Cafe];

C --> E[Study Productively];
D --> E[Dream About Studying]
