Basic Arithmetic Operations Pseudo Code

This pseudo code demonstrates an algorithm to perform basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) on two user-input numbers, repeated ten times in a loop, with results displayed each iteration.

Prompt

Prepare an algorithm or pseudocode to print the output of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing of two number which will be entered by the user. Initialize a counter and use looping to perform repetition (use the “for loops”).  The operation can be repeated 10 times.

Answer

Pseudo Code for Basic Arithmetic Operations

Overview

This pseudo code outlines an algorithm that repeatedly performs basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) on two user-input numbers. The operations will be executed ten times using a for loop.

Steps

Initialize Variables
- Create a counter for the loop.
- Declare variables for the two numbers and the results of operations.
Loop Structure
- Use a for loop that iterates 10 times.
User Input
- Prompt the user to enter two numbers at the beginning of each iteration.
Perform Operations
- Add the two numbers.
- Subtract the second number from the first.
- Multiply the two numbers.
- Divide the first number by the second (handle division by zero).
Output Results
- Print the results of each operation.

Pseudo Code

BEGIN PROGRAM

  // Step 1: Initialize Variables
  DECLARE counter AS INTEGER
  DECLARE number1 AS FLOAT
  DECLARE number2 AS FLOAT
  DECLARE sum AS FLOAT
  DECLARE difference AS FLOAT
  DECLARE product AS FLOAT
  DECLARE quotient AS FLOAT

  // Step 2: Loop Structure
  FOR counter FROM 1 TO 10 DO
    
    // Step 3: User Input
    PRINT "Enter the first number:"
    INPUT number1
    PRINT "Enter the second number:"
    INPUT number2

    // Step 4: Perform Operations
    sum = number1 + number2
    difference = number1 - number2
    product = number1 * number2
    
    IF number2 != 0 THEN
      quotient = number1 / number2
    ELSE
      quotient = "Undefined (division by zero)"
    END IF

    // Step 5: Output Results
    PRINT "Iteration ", counter
    PRINT "Sum: ", sum
    PRINT "Difference: ", difference
    PRINT "Product: ", product
    PRINT "Quotient: ", quotient
    PRINT "---------------------"

  END FOR

END PROGRAM

Key Considerations

Ensure proper handling of division by zero.
Results should be output in each iteration to provide immediate feedback to the user.
The program should clarify the operation results with labels for ease of understanding.

This pseudo code serves as a foundational guide for implementing the described functionality in a programming language of choice.
