  2. Symbol Terminal Symbol: indicates the starting or stopping pointin the logic. Input/Output Symbol: Represents an input or output process in an algorithm Process Symbol: Represents any single process in an algorithm Predefined Process Symbol: Decision Symbol: Represents a decision in the logic involving the comparison Of two values.

  3. The three basic control structures

  4. 1. Sequence Statemement a Statemement b Statemement c

  5. 2. Selection Condition p? T F Statemement a Statemement b

  6. Selection (2) Condition p? F T Statemement a

  7. 3. Repetition Condition p? F T Statemement block

  8. Example 12.1 Add three numbers • A program is required to read three numbers, add them together and print their total.

  10. Solution Algorithm Start Read Number1 Number2 number3 Add numbers to total Print total Stop

  11. Example 12.2 Find average temperature • A program is required to prompt the terminal operator for the maximum and minimum temperature readings on a particular day, accept those readings as integers, and calculate and display to the screen the average temperature, calculated by (maximum temperature + minimum temperature)/2.

  14. Example 12.3 Compute mowing time • A program is required to read from the screen the lenght and widht of a rectangular house block, and the lenght and width of the rectangular house that has been built on the block. The algorithm should then compute and display the mowing time required to cut the grass around the house, at the rate of two square metres per minute.

  18. Simple IF statement Account_ balance < $300? T F Service_charge = $5 Service_charge = $2

  19. Null ELSE statement Student_ attendance = P/T? F T Increment part_time_count

  20. Combined IF statement Student = P/T AND Gender = F ? F T Increment Female_part_time_count

  21. Nested IF statement T Record Code =`A‘ ? F F T Record Code =`A‘ ? Increment Counter_A Record Code =`A‘ ? F Increment Counter_B T Increment Error_counter Increment Counter_C

  22. Example 12.4 Read three characters • Design an algorithm that will prompt a terminal operator for three characters, accept those characters as input, sort them into ascending sequence and output them to the screen.

  26. Flowchart and Array • Design a program that will prompt for and receive 18 examination scores from a mathematics test, compute the class average, and display all the scores and the class average to the screen.

  27. Defining diagram

  28. Control Structures required • An array to store the exam scores – called ´scores´ • An index to identify each element in the array • A DO loop to accept the scores • Another DO loop to display the scores to the screen.

  29. Solution Algorithm Start Calculate average Display average Total_score = zero I = 1 I = 1 Stop Prompt and get Scores (I) Display Scores (I) Add scores(I) to Total score I = I + 1 T I = I + 1 I <= 18 ? F T I <= 18 ? F

  30. Flowchart and Module Design a solution algorithm that will prompt a terminal operator for three characters, accept those characters as input, sort them into ascending sequence and output them to the screen. The algorithm is to continue to read characters until ´XXX`is entered.

  35. Assignment: Calculate Employee‘s pay A program is required by a company to read an employee‘s number, pay rate and the number of hours worked in a week. The program is then to validate the pay rate and the hours worked fields and, if valid, compute the employee‘s weekly pay and print it along with the input data.

  36. Assignment (cont‘) Validation: According to the company‘s rules, the maximum hours an emplooye can work per week is 60 hours, and the maximum hourly rate is $25.00 per hour. If the hours worked field or the hourly rate field is out of range, the input data and an appropriate message is to be printed and the emplooye‘s weekly pay is not to be calculated. Weekly pay calculation: Weekly pay is calculated as hours worked times pay rate. If more than 35 hours are worked, payment for the overtime hours worked is calculated at time-and half.
