Which are characteristics of flowcharts? Check all that apply.

A flowchart is a graphical way to represent the steps used to solve a problem, so A is correct. Standard flowchart shapes include symbols for the start and finish, and a diamond marks a decision or branching point, making B and D correct. Arrows—not pseudocode—connect symbols and show the direction of the logic, so C is incorrect.
