When there are multiple inputs to an XOR gateway, the process will move to the output of the XOR gateway when any one of the input conditions becomes true. If there are multiple outputs for an XOR gateway, all the transitions will be randomly evaluated one by one and the first true condition will be evaluated and the process will move forward without evaluating the other transitions.

  2. AND gate: An AND gate is used in cases when certain activities need to be carried out in parallel. The AND gate is both convergent and divergent. In the case of convergent...
