Step 1: Analyze the Problem Step one of this project requires you to first identify a problem and to briefly draft the details of the problem in approximately one to two sentences. Also, compose a solution for the identified problem in a paragraph. You may choose the problem; however, the solution must involve a calculating program which you can design. Be sure to include input and output while analyzing the problem.
Step 2: Plan the Algorithm The next part of the project involves drafting pseudocode and a flowchart as part of the planning process of an algorithm. This task helps identify all of the details for an algorithm-planning the algorithm. Draft a set of pseudocode to include at least the following details: - the output - the input - the algorithm with at least three instructions (Be sure the calculation instructions specify both what is to be calculated and also how to perform the calculation.)
Next, draft a flowchart by using the shapes in the template (a Microsoft Word document). The flowchart must include at least the following components: - one start symbol and one stop symbol (ovals) - one input symbol and one output symbol (parallelograms) - one process symbol (rectangle) - flowlines.
Project Template
Complete the three-step process of analyzing the problem, planning the algorithm, and desk-checking the algorithm.
Step 1: Analyze the Problem
1.1 Provide a brief description of the problem.
1.2 Provide a brief explanation of the solution (i.e., the program).
Step 2: Plan the Algorithm
2.1 Prepare pseudocode for the solution.
2.2 Draft a flowchart of the solution. (Note: To add more symbols, copy and paste the shapes below.)
Step 3: Desk-Check the Algorithm
3.1 Complete the desk-check table. (Note: Feel free to add rows and columns to the table if needed.)
