Answer
Pseudo Code for Calculating Simple Interest
Overview
This pseudo code outlines the process to calculate Simple Interest using the formula:
Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100
The code will also print a message based on whether the computed Simple Interest is above or below a threshold.
Pseudo Code
Initialization
- Define variables:
Principal
,Rate
,Time
,Simple_Interest
- Define variables:
Input Values
- Prompt the user to enter the
Principal
- Prompt the user to enter the
Rate
- Prompt the user to enter the
Time
- Prompt the user to enter the
Compute Simple Interest
- Calculate
Simple_Interest
using the formula:Simple_Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100
- Calculate
Evaluate Simple Interest
- If
Simple_Interest
> 2000:- Print "Computed Simple Interest: " + Simple_Interest
- Print "The computed value is High"
- Else If
Simple_Interest
< 2000:- Print "Computed Simple Interest: " + Simple_Interest
- Print "The computed value is Low"
- If
Flowchart Representation
- A flowchart could represent the above steps visually as follows:
- Start
- Input
Principal
- Input
Rate
- Input
Time
- Calculate
Simple_Interest
- Decision: Is
Simple_Interest
> 2000?- Yes:
- Print Simple Interest
- Print "The computed value is High"
- No:
- Print Simple Interest
- Print "The computed value is Low"
- Yes:
- End
Example of the Logic in Structured Format
START
DECLARE Principal, Rate, Time, Simple_Interest AS FLOAT
PRINT "Enter Principal:"
INPUT Principal
PRINT "Enter Rate:"
INPUT Rate
PRINT "Enter Time:"
INPUT Time
Simple_Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100
IF Simple_Interest > 2000 THEN
PRINT "Computed Simple Interest: ", Simple_Interest
PRINT "The computed value is High"
ELSE
PRINT "Computed Simple Interest: ", Simple_Interest
PRINT "The computed value is Low"
END IF
END
