Data Structure & Algorithm

produce an ordered sequence of steps that describe solution of problem

this sequence of steps is called an algorithm

Pseudo code is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudo code is very similar to everyday English.

Write an algorithm to determine a student’s final grade and indicate whether it is passing or failing. The final grade is calculated as the average of four marks.

 Input a set of 4 marks

 Calculate their average by summing and dividing by 4

 if average is below 50 Print “FAIL” else Print “PASS”

Step 1: Input M1,M2,M3,M4

Step 2: GRADE (M1+M2+M3+M4)/4

Step 3: if (GRADE < 50) then Print “FAIL” else Print “PASS” endif

 (Dictionary) A schematic representation of a sequence of operations, as in a manufacturing process or computer program.

 (Technical) A graphical representation of the sequence of operations in an information system or program. Information system flowcharts show how data flows from source documents through the computer to final distribution to users. Program flowcharts show the sequence of instructions in a single program or subroutine. Different symbols are used to draw each type of flowchart.

implement the program in some programming language
