HELP! How do you make an Algorithmic loop?
Please support our Computer Science advertiser: Learn about neural networks and artificial intelligence.
Thread Solved |
I had to take computer science for my major, but I have no idea what's going on in this class.
I have to write an algorithm that reads in ten positive integers from the keyboard (upper size limit is 99). Output the additive total of the ten numbers and also output the smallest of those ten numbers. Illegal inputs (<1 or >99) are to be discarded and a replacement entry accepted if legal.
can anybody PLEASE tell me what this means

You already just gave the "algorithm", so what do you need? Is it that you have no concept of how to write this in somesort of pseudo-code?

A for loop will allow you to have a user enter the ten numbers
Did you have a specific programming language in mind?
for(variable=1 to variable is less than or equal to 10, then increment the variable) //In the body of the loop you will ask the users to enter the numbers

Have you ever learned about something called an array?
That could be used to store the 10 values, but if you've never learned arrays then there is a less effiecient way to solve your problem.

I don't even know what a PDL is but we're suppose to write the algorithm i stated above and make a matching code using C++ so with both ways work?
