Answer
Pseudo Code for Electricity Bill Calculation
Overview
This pseudo code outlines the steps for calculating an electricity bill based on the consumption measured between two meter readings. The pricing is tiered based on the number of units consumed.
Functions and Logic
Function: Calculate Bill
- Input:
current_reading
,previous_reading
- Output:
bill
Steps:
Calculate Units Consumed
units_consumed = current_reading - previous_reading
Determine Bill Amount Based on Consumption
- If
units_consumed <= 50
bill = units_consumed * 0.50
- Else If
units_consumed <= 150
bill = (50 * 0.50) + ((units_consumed - 50) * 0.75)
- Else
bill = (50 * 0.50) + (100 * 0.75) + ((units_consumed - 150) * 1.20
- If
Return Bill Amount
return bill
User Input and Output
Prompt User for Input
current_reading = get user input("Enter the current meter reading: ")
previous_reading = get user input("Enter the previous meter reading: ")
Calculate the Bill
bill_amount = calculate_bill(current_reading, previous_reading)
Display Result
print("Electricity Bill: Nu. " + format(bill_amount, ".2f"))
Complete Pseudo Code
FUNCTION calculate_bill(current_reading, previous_reading)
units_consumed = current_reading - previous_reading
IF units_consumed <= 50 THEN
bill = units_consumed * 0.50
ELSE IF units_consumed <= 150 THEN
bill = (50 * 0.50) + ((units_consumed - 50) * 0.75)
ELSE
bill = (50 * 0.50) + (100 * 0.75) + ((units_consumed - 150) * 1.20)
END IF
RETURN bill
END FUNCTION
current_reading = get user input("Enter the current meter reading: ")
previous_reading = get user input("Enter the previous meter reading: ")
bill_amount = calculate_bill(current_reading, previous_reading)
print("Electricity Bill: Nu. " + format(bill_amount, ".2f"))
Conclusion
This pseudo code clearly represents the logic for calculating an electricity bill based on the input from meter readings, facilitating communication and documentation of the program logic. The structure is simple and follows a logical flow to enhance understanding.
Description
This pseudo code details the process for calculating an electricity bill based on two meter readings. It includes tiered pricing based on consumption levels, providing clear steps for inputs, calculations, and output formatting.
