Question

1 Design an algorithm that will read a series of 50 integers at the terminal. The first integer is special, as it indicates how many more integers will follow. Your algorithm is to calculate and print the sum and average of the integers, excluding the first integer, and display these values to the screen.

Can I please have a simple pseudocode algorithm of this problem.

Answer 1

The algorithm for finding sum and average of atmost 50 integers from terminal is given below.

START -:       numberCount = 0         runningTotal = 0        Read first number as totalNum   While numberCount is less than totalNum                 Read inputNum           numberCount=numberCount+1               runningTotal=runningTotal+inputNum      End     Print runningTotal      If numberCount > 0    averageValue = runningTotal / numberCount       Print averageValue     Else     Print "Cannot calculate average" END

START -: numberCount = 0 runningTotal = 0 Read first number as totalNum While numberCount is less than totalNum Read inputNum numberCount=numberCount+1 runningTotal=runningTotal+inputNum End Print runningTotal If numberCount > 0 averageValue - runningTotal / numberCount Print averageValue Else Print "Cannot calculate average" END
