COSC 1436 NLC Algorithms and Flowcharts Questions

ASSIGNMENT 1A Assignment 1A tests your knowledge of algorithms and flowcharts (Chapters 1, 1A and 1B). For the assignment you are going to develop a specific algorithm and create the flowchart for it. All the file and variable names are exact/precise so call them as requested. Part 1. Develop the algorithm/flowchart to solve the exact problem below. The algorithm/flowchart should have the following exact/precise steps, variable names, messages, computation, and format: 1. Output a message “Please enter a Number: ” that asks the user to enter a number. 2. Input a value from the user into a variable called Number. This can be any number the user wants; do not hardcode a value. 3. Compute the area of the square1 with the side Number and store it in a variable called AreaSquare. 4. Compute the area of the circle2 with the length Number and width 2*Number and store it in a variable called AreaRectangle. 5. Output a message “The area of the square is “. 6. Output the value of the variable AreaSquare. 7. Output a message “The area of the rectangle is “ 8. Output the value of the variable AreaRectangle. Your flowchart should be general and work on any number, and you should not hardcode the Number or the 2 Areas (e.g. do not INPUT 3, COMPUTE AreaSquare=9, etc )– your algorithm should input the Number from the user and compute the areas based on the Number. Also, your algorithms should not input, output, or compute more than requested (e.g. do input side, length, width, etc, you should only input the Number). Part 2. Draw the flowchart in Microsoft Word. Create a Microsoft Word document from the attached YourName-Assignment1A.docx template and call it YourName-Assignment1A.docx (replace YourName with your actual name) and draw the flowchart in it using Shapes to draw the symbols/shapes and lines. If the flowchart is longer than a page, you can continue to the second page. Please keep the flowchart vertical like it should always be. Part 3. Submit your work: Submit YourName-Assignment1A.docx on eCampus under the Assignment 1A. Do not archive the files (e.g. no RAR, ZIP, etc.) or submit other types/formats of files (e.g. no CLASS, PDF, JAVA, CPP, etc.). Please take time after submitting to review the file and check it is correct and resubmit it if there are any errors. 1 The area of a square can be computed by multiplying the side of the square by itself (side*side). Since side is Number, you will need to replace side with Number in your formula. At the end the formula should only be dependent on Number. 2 The area of a rectangle can be computed by multiplying the length by the width. Since the length is Number and width is 2*Number, you will need to replace them. At the end the formula should only be dependent on Number and constants.
