Flowchart Symbol for File Input Output Java

38 views Asked by At

What flowchart symbol should I use for file input and output? Is it still the same as using Scanner? Thanks! (The language is Java btw)

I was thinking maybe the usual Input and Output symbol might work but I'm worried that there could be something else.
