The document explains an algorithm for calculating concert ticket costs with discounts based on the number of tickets purchased. It outlines the flowchart steps, including input validation, discount checks, cost calculation, and output display. Additionally, it provides pseudocode that reflects the flowchart logic, emphasizing the decision-making process and structure for clarity.

let's breAk down the
flowchArt And then convert it into pseudocode. explAnAtion of the flowchArt the flowchArt describes the Algorithm for cAlculAting the cost of concert tickets with discounts bAsed on the number of tickets purchAsed. here's A step-by-step explAnAtion: * stArt: the process begins. * input number of tickets: the progrAm prompts the user to enter the number of tickets they wAnt to buy And stores this vAlue in A vAriAble cAlled n. * vAlidAtion check (n >= 1 And n < 26): the progrAm checks if the number of tickets entered is vAlid. it should be greAter thAn or equAl to 1 And less thAn 26 (As per the rule "no more thAn 25 tickets cAn be bought"). * invAlid input (no): if the input is invAlid, the progrAm likely ends (As shown in the flowchArt). ideAlly, it should provide An error messAge And Ask for input AgAin, but the flowchArt doesn't show this explicitly. * vAlid input (yes): if the input is vAlid, the progrAm proceeds to check for discounts. * check for discount level 1 (n < 10): the progrAm checks if the number of tickets is less thAn 10. * less thAn 10 (yes): if yes, it meAns no discount Applies, so the discount d is set to 0. * not less thAn 10 (no): if the number of tickets is 10 or more, the progrAm proceeds to the next discount check. * check for discount level 2 (n < to 20): the progrAm checks if the number of tickets is less thAn 20. * less thAn 20 (yes): if yes, it meAns A 10% discount Applies, so the discount d is set to 0.1 (10%). * not less thAn 20 (no): if the number of tickets is 20 or more, the progrAm proceeds to the next discount check. * discount level 3 (20 or more): if the number of tickets is not less thAn 20, it meAns 20 or more tickets were bought, so A 20% discount Applies. the discount d is set to 0.2 (20%). * cAlculAte cost: the progrAm cAlculAtes the totAl cost using the formulA: cost = n * (1 - d). this Applies the discount to the totAl price of the tickets. * output cost: the progrAm displAys the cAlculAted cost to the user. * stop: the process ends. pseudocode conversion begin output "how mAny tickets would you like to buy?" input n
if (n < 1 or n > 25) then
output "invAlid number of tickets. pleAse enter A number between 1 And 25." // ideAlly, loop bAck to input AgAin, but flowchArt doesn't show it. else if (n < 10) then d←0 else if (n < 20) then d ← 0.1 else d ← 0.2 endif
cost ← n * (1 - d) output "your tickets cost", cost endif end
explAnAtion of the pseudocode
* begin/end: mArks the stArt And end of the progrAm block. * output/input: hAndles displAying prompts to the user And receiving input. * if/else/endif: implements the decision-mAking logic for vAlidAting the number of tickets And Applying discounts. * ←: represents Assignment (setting A vAriAble's vAlue). * comments: the // indicAtes A comment explAining the ideAl behAvior for invAlid input (looping bAck), which isn't explicitly shown in the flowchArt. key points * the pseudocode closely mirrors the logic of the flowchArt. * indentAtion is used to cleArly show the blocks of code within the if stAtements. * the else if structure simplifies the discount checking logic, mAking it more reAdAble. this pseudocode provides A cleAr, step-by-step representAtion of the Algorithm, which cAn then be eAsily trAnslAted into Any progrAmming lAnguAge.
