...while we do have documentation, there is no consistency in it. A standardized method is in need to consolidate it and make the information understandable for users and stakeholders to use. One of the programmers suggested using psuedocode to standardize the documentation. However the advertising personnel are not familiar with that method. Had Al who is one of our newest programmers explained how Rouse (2005) stated that psuedocode “is a detailed yet readable description of what a computer program or algorithm must do” he might have received a different response from Mark in advertising. In addition, Al’s peer Flo and advertising executive David do not embrace the idea of using psuedocode. They have been using the systems development process with the use of CASE tools. The CASE tool can output graphical diagrams to give programmers a picture of what they are creating and non-technical users a map of sorts. It also provides “Compatibility between personalities implementing the tools and their relative expertise” (Borade, n.d.). Flo did not explain why she did not like psuedocode, only why she did not think it was a good solution at this point in the project. From taking in the information from the meeting, I believe both CASE tools and psuedocode can be used in the form of a user manual. Since the company is being downsized...

...uninitialized variable? • In some languages 0 is the default value to uninitialized variables. In other languages uninitialized variables hold random values. Algorithm Workbench 3. Write assignment statements that preform the following operations with the following variables a, b, and c. A. b = 2+a B. a = b*4 C. b = 3.14/a D. a = b-8 4. Assume the variables result, w, x, y, and z are all integers, and the w = 5, x = 4, y = 8, z = 2. What value will be stored in result in each of the following statement? A. x+y=4+5 B. z*2=2*2 C. y/x=8/4 D. y-z=8-2 5. Write a pseudocode statement that declares the variable cost so it can hold real number. • Floating-point variable cost 6. Write a pseudocode statement that declares the variable total so it can hold integer. Initialize the variable with the value 0. • Declare Real price = 99.95 • Display “the original price.’ • Input item original price • Display “price” 7. Write a pseudocode statement that assigns the value 27 to the variable count. • Count:=27 8. Write a pseudocode statement that assigns the sum of 10 and 14 to the variable total. • Set total = 10+14 9. Write a psudocode statement that subtracts the variable downPayment from the variable total and assign the results for the variable due. • Set due = total – downPayment 10. Write a psuedocode statement that multiplies the variable subtotal by .15 and assign the result to the variable totalFee. • Declare Int subtotal • Declare Int totalFee • Declare...

...Skill Builder Week 1 Activity—Output and Pseudocode TCO 5 | Given a simple business problem, design and desk-check a solution algorithm that is expressed in terms of pseudocode or program notes and input-process-output (IPO) analysis leading to a flow chart. | Assignment: This activity will assist you in the understanding the input, process, and output (IPO) model using a provided set of data to write psuedocode ahead of processing the data and showing the results. 1. Rewrite the supplied data set in pseudocode format using proper verbs for describing input, process, or output needs along with assignment statements for calculations. 2. Perform calculations based on the pseudocode and assignment statements. 3. Show the result of each pseudocode program in the output display. Rubric: When completed, please submit the following items. 1. The instruction sheet. 2. Your answer sheet. Point distribution for this activity: Pseudocode Activity | Document | Points possible | Points received | Problem #1 | 6 | | Problem #2 | 6 | | Problem #3 | 8 | | Total Points | 20 | | Problem #Example: The variable A starts with the value 2. The variable B starts with the value 4. The variable C starts with the value 6. Store the value of A added to B in A. Store the value of B added to C in C. Multiply A times C, and store the result in B. Display the value in B on the screen. Pseudocode #Example: ...
