Pseudo Code for Credit Calculation

Objective

Determine the available credit for a customer based on their maximum credit limit and the amount of credit they have used.

Inputs

• max_credit: The customer's maximum amount of credit (numeric).
• used_credit: The amount of credit used by the customer (numeric).

Process

1. Calculate the available credit by subtracting the used credit from the maximum credit.
2. Ensure that the result does not fall below zero.

Pseudo Code

FUNCTION calculate_available_credit(max_credit, used_credit)
    // Step 1: Check if the inputs are valid
    IF max_credit < 0 THEN
        RETURN "Error: Maximum credit limit cannot be negative."
    END IF

    IF used_credit < 0 THEN
        RETURN "Error: Used credit cannot be negative."
    END IF

    // Step 2: Calculate available credit
    available_credit = max_credit - used_credit
    
    // Step 3: Ensure available credit is not negative
    IF available_credit < 0 THEN
        available_credit = 0
    END IF

    // Step 4: Return the available credit
    RETURN available_credit
END FUNCTION

Summary

The pseudo code above provides a simple and clear method to calculate the available credit for a customer. It includes input validation to ensure that credit values are not negative, calculates the available credit by subtraction, and ensures that available credit cannot be below zero.
