Flowcharts Lecture 12 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.

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. • Defining diagram Input Block_lenght Block_width House_lenght House_width Processing Prompt for block measurements Get block measurements Prompt for house measurements Get house measurements Calculate mowing area Calculate mowing time Output Mowing_time Solution Algorithm Flowchart and the selection control structure Simple IF statement T Service_charge = $5 Account_ balance < $300?

F 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. • Defining diagram Input Char_1 Char_2 Char_3 Processing Prompt for characters Accept three characters Sort three characters Output three characters Output Char_1 Char_2 Char_3 Hierarchy chart Process_three_ characters Sort_three_ characters Process_three_characters Start Prompt For characters Get characters F Characters NOT = xxx ?

F Stop 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. 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. • Defining diagram Input Emp_no Pay_rate Hrs_worked Processing Output Read employee details Validate input fields Calculate employee pay Print employee details Emp_no Pay_rate Hrs_worked Emp_weekly_pay Error_message Hierarchy chart Compute_employee_pay Employee_details Valid_input_ fields Read_employee_ details Validate_input_ fields Calculate_ Employee_pay Print_employee_ details Solution Algorithm Compute_employee_pay Fields Valid?
