Week 3. Apply Discount

Problem:
-Finding the cost of a Parcel Where Price is x and Weight is y

Inputs:
-Weight
-PostageCost

Output:
-Cost To Post Parcel

Processing:
-Price x Weight (kg)
-IF PostageCost = >$100 then 10%discount

Algorithm:

Start PostageCost
Prompt user for PkgWeight
Get PkgWeight
Get Price
Verify PkgWeight, Price
PostageCost = PkgWeight * Price
IF Price = >$100
PostageCost - 10%
Display PostageCost
End

Week 2. Algorithm With Flow Charts

Problem:
-Finding the cost of a Parcel Where Price is x and Weight is y

Inputs:
-Weight
-PostageCost

Output:
-Cost To Post Parcel

Processing:
-Price x Weight (kg)

Algorithm:

Start PostageCost
Prompt user for PkgWeight
Get PkgWeight
Get Price
Verify PkgWeight, Price
PostageCost = PkgWeight * Price
Display PostageCost
End

Problem:
-Find the Estimated number of hours it will take to complete all the levels in a Video Game based on other performance from other games.

Input:
-Hours from games
-No. of Games played

Output:
-Estimated Time To Finish New Game

Processing:
-Hours Divided by No. Of Games

Algorithm:
Start
Prompt user for Hours, #Games
GetHours, #Games
Verify GetHours, #Games
AverageTime = Hours / #Games
Display AverageTime
End

Week 2: What Is An Algorithm

Week 2.
Today in class we have been asked to describe an Algorithm...so here we go:

-An Algorithm is an instance of reality that is written in the software to make a program become more effective in its purpose, which in layman's terms means "The computer does things really well"
