Lab 2: Problem Solving Using Algorithm: Pseudocode

The document discusses algorithm design using pseudocode and flowcharts. It provides examples of pseudocode to calculate the area of a circle and a flowchart to do the same. It then lists 5 exercises for students to write pseudocode and design flowcharts for algorithms to: 1) add two numbers, 2) convert temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius, 3) find the greater of two numbers, 4) calculate and display the area of a rectangle, and 5) find the largest of three numbers.

Lab 2: Problem Solving using Algorithm

Objectives:

1. To illustrate algorithm before writing C++ program.


a. Design a simple algorithm using pseudocode
b. Design a simple algorithm using flowchart

Pseudocode
 A sequence of activities to be processed for getting desired output from a given input
 Before writing a pseudocode for a problem, one should find out what is/are the inputs and
what is/are expected output
 It uses short terms or simple English
 While writing pseudocode we will use following symbol for different operations:

“+” for Addition


“-” for Subtraction
“*” for Multiplication
“/” for Division
“ ” for assignment. For example, A x*3 means A will have a value
of x*3

 example pseudocode

Problem : Find the area of a Circle of radius r (A = r2)


Input : Radius r of the Circle
Expected Output : Area of circle

Pseudocode:

Start
1. Read/input/get the Radius r of the Circle
2. Area 3.14*r*r
3. Display Area
End
Flowchart
 A type of diagram that represents a workflow or process
 A flowchart can also be defined as a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, a step-by-
step approach to solving a task
 Common flowchart symbols:

 Example flowchart

Problem : Find the area of a Circle of radius r (A = r2)

Start

Read r

Area = 3.14*r*r

Display Area
End
Exercises

Task 1: Write the pseudocode and design the flowchart to read two numbers and find their sum

Task 2: Write the pseudocode and design the flowchart to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius

Celsius = (F-32) x (5/9)

Task 3: Write pseudocode and design the flowchart to find the greater number between two numbers

Task 4: Write pseudocode and design the flowchart that display the area of a rectangle by accepting
length and width from the user.

Task 5: Write pseudocode and design the flowchart to find the largest value of any three numbers
