2. outputs

3. error conditions

4. an algorithm using pseudocode

5. a set of test cases

Apartment complex census [40 points]

Suppose the management of an apartment complex would like to know the demographics of the people living in the complex, more specifically the number of seniors, adults and children. Write an algorithm that will record the number of seniors, adults, and children in each apartment in the apartment complex, and then display the total number of seniors, the total number of adults, and the total number of children in the complex, as well as the average number of each (seniors, adults, and children) per apartment.

Answer 1

STEP 1: CONSIDER THE TOTAL NUMBER OF APARTMENTS IN THE COMPLEX.

STEP2: CATEGORIZE THE AGES OF ALL THE PEOPLE INTO PARTS i.e;

CATEGORY AGE

1. CHILDREN   age should be (0-17)

2. ADULTS age should be (18-59)

3.SENIORS age should be (60 and above)

STEP3: FIRST GIVE A NUMERICAL VALUE THAT - FOR HOW MANY NUMBER OF PERSONS YOU WANT TO CALCULATE AND CATEGORIZE THERE AGE.(INDIVIDUALLY IN EACH APARTMENT)

STEP4: YOU CAN WRITE THE CONDITION LIKE THIS

if(age>=0 && age<=17)

child++;

else if(age>17 && age<=59)

adults++;

else

seniors++;

BY THIS STEP YOU CAN CALCULATE TOTAL HOW MANY NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE THERE IN EACH AND EVERY CATEGORY.

STEP5: BASED ON EVERY CATEGORIZED VALUE.. WE CAN CALCULATE THE AVERAGE BASED ON TOTAL NO.OF PEOPLE IN EACH APARTMENT FROM WHOLE COMPLEX.
