Answer
Pseudo Code for Basic Arithmetic Operations with Looping
Overview
The following pseudo code outlines an algorithm that performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of two numbers entered by the user, and repeats these operations up to 10 times using a for loop.
Pseudo Code
Initialize Variables
- Define a constant for MAX_ITERATIONS set to 10
- Create counter variable
i
set to 0
For Loop to Repeat Operations
- For each
i
from 1 to MAX_ITERATIONS (inclusive):Prompt User for Input
- Output "Enter the first number:"
- Read
num1
- Output "Enter the second number:"
- Read
num2
Perform Arithmetic Operations
- Set
sum
tonum1
+num2
- Set
difference
tonum1
-num2
- Set
product
tonum1
*num2
- If
num2
is not equal to 0:- Set
quotient
tonum1
/num2
- Set
- Else:
- Set
quotient
to "undefined" (to avoid division by zero)
- Set
- Set
Output Results
- Output "Sum: " +
sum
- Output "Difference: " +
difference
- Output "Product: " +
product
- Output "Quotient: " +
quotient
- Output "Sum: " +
- For each
End Loop
Summary
This algorithm effectively allows users to input two numbers and receive results for basic arithmetic operations in a loop that iterates a specified number of times (10). The handling of division by zero ensures that the program remains robust against invalid operations.
Description
This pseudo code defines an algorithm to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of two user-input numbers in a loop that runs 10 times, handling division by zero appropriately.
