Pseudocode for Calculating Work Hours

Objective

To create a program that allows the user to input the hours worked in a day and subsequently calculates the total hours worked for a five-day week and a 252-day work year. Finally, it should output these results.

Pseudocode Structure

1. Start the Program

• Initialize the program.

2. Input

• Prompt the user to enter the hours worked in a day.
  • Store this value in a variable hours_per_day.

3. Calculations

• Calculate total hours worked in a week:

  • hours_per_week = hours_per_day * 5

• Calculate total hours worked in a year:

  • hours_per_year = hours_per_day * 252

4. Output Results

• Display the total hours worked in a week.
• Display the total hours worked in a year.

5. End the Program

• Terminate the program.

Complete Pseudocode

BEGIN Program
    // Step 1: Input
    PRINT "Enter the number of hours worked in a day:"
    INPUT hours_per_day
    
    // Step 2: Calculations
    hours_per_week = hours_per_day * 5
    hours_per_year = hours_per_day * 252
    
    // Step 3: Output Results
    PRINT "Total hours worked in a week: ", hours_per_week
    PRINT "Total hours worked in a year: ", hours_per_year
    
END Program

Key Points

• The program takes user input for daily hours explicitly.
• It performs straightforward arithmetic for weekly and yearly calculations.
• Results are outputted in a clear format for user understanding.

This pseudocode serves as a blueprint for implementing a functional program and can easily be translated into various programming languages as needed. For further learning and resources, consider utilizing the Enterprise DNA Platform.
