Answer to Question #256683 in Algorithms for Dion Martins

Question

Do the necessary planning (IPO) and write an algorithm in pseudo code for the following:

Write an algorithm that will accept the following for 100 students: The students’ name (studName) and 3 test marks (marks), as well as one exam mark (examMark). The program must calculate the final mark (finMark) for every student. The final mark comprises of 50% of the exam mark added to 50% of the average (agv) of the 3 tests.

Display the final mark for every student.

1. Use a simple for-loop to determine the answer.

Answer 1

Algorithm:


Start
   Declare varaible integer studName= ""
   Declare array integer marks[3] 
   Declare varaible integer examMark
   Declare varaible integer finMark
   Declare varaible integer agv
   for i = 1 to 100 step 1 do
       Read studName
       for j=0 to 3 step 1 do
             Read marks[i]
       end for
       Declare varaible integer sum=0
       for j=0 to 3 step 1 do
	     sum=sum+marks[i]
       end for
    end for
    Set agv=sum/3
    Set finMark=agv*0.5+examMark*0.5
    Display finMark
Stop
