Pseudo Code for Division Operation Handling

Objective

To compute and display the result of dividing x by y, while handling the case where y is zero to avoid division errors.

Input

• Variable x: a numeric value (dividend)
• Variable y: a numeric value (divisor)

Logic

1. Check if y is equal to 0
   • If y is 0, display a message indicating inability to perform division.
   • If y is not 0, compute the division and display the result.

Pseudo Code

BEGIN
    // Input values for x and y
    INPUT x
    INPUT y

    // Check if y is zero
    IF y == 0 THEN
        // Display error message for division by zero
        DISPLAY "Unable to perform the division"
    ELSE
        // Calculate and display the division result
        result = x ÷ y
        DISPLAY result
    ENDIF
END

Key Points

• The logic includes a conditional check to handle division by zero.
• The program employs clear input and output instructions for user interaction.
• The use of simple variable names (x, y, and result) maintains clarity.
