Algorithm Template 5 Modules With Structure Chart

This document provides guidelines and requirements for completing algorithm assignments, including pseudocode algorithms. It specifies that assignments must identify inputs, processing, outputs, temporary variables, include a structure chart, pseudocode with line numbering, algorithm and module descriptions, and desk checks. Sub-algorithms should be defined before the main algorithm and numbered consecutively. Each part of the algorithm like inputs, outputs, processing steps, and modules must be clearly specified.

Algorithm Template 5 Your Name Here

All pseudocode algorithm assignments require identification of the inputs, processing, outputs, and
temporary variables/constants needed, a structure chart, correct pseudocode, including an algorithm
name and narrative description, and one or more desk checks for full credit. A separate matching,
working Flowgorithm is also required.

The problem statement is given here. Each line is important. Read this carefully for clues as to
what is needed to solve the problem. (Provided by the instructor in the assignment)
{Algorithm answer starts here – Use the algorithm assignment document supplied in Moodle to
provide your solution to the problem. Please do not make your own!}

{Define all sub-algorithms BEFORE the main algorithm; this code isn’t executed until it is called
by the mainline algorithm. Therefore, sub-algorithms should be numbered consecutively AFTER
all the mainline pseudocode is numbered; the main algorithm name should always be line 1/}
