Problem’s Solution via pseudo code


Problem Statement 1:
A student appears in an examination that consists of total
10 subjects, each subject having maximum marks of 100. The roll number of the
student, his name, and the marks obtained by him in various subjects is supplied as
input data. Such a collection of related data items that is treated as a unit is known
as a record. Write a pseudocode for the algorithm to calculate the percentage marks
obtained by the student in this examination and then to print it along with his roll
number and name.

ALGORITHM 1 Calculate percentage marks of student

Procedure: student_record (name: char, roll#: integer marks: float)


{The marks of student in diff subjects are (m1, m2… m10), respectively}

length 10
total 0
for i 1 to length
do
total total + marks[i]
► end for loop
percentage (total/100) x 100

{The Percentage of student in 10 subjects along with his roll# & name}

Problem Statement 2:
50 students of a class appear in the problem 1. Write a
pseudocode for the algorithm to calculate and print the percentage marks obtained
by each student along with his roll number.

ALGORITHM 2 Calculate percentage of students mark

Procedure: student_record (name: char, roll#: integer marks: float)


{The name, (n1, n2…n50), roll# (r1, r2….r50) & marks (m1, m2… m50) of diff students respectively}

length 50
total 0
for i 1 to length
do
percentage[i] (marks[i]/total marks) x 100
► end for loop

{Name, Roll# & Percentage of 50 students along with his roll# & name}

Problem Statement 3:
Write a pseudocode chart of the logical steps needed to
produce a printed listing of all students over the age of 20 in a class. The input
records contain the name and age of the students. Assume an initial value of 99 for
the age field.

ALGORITHM 3 Age of student

Procedure: age (name: char, age: integer)


{The name & age of student are (a1, a2, a3....an), respectively}

age 99
for i 1 to length
do
if (age>20)
then

Problem Statement 4:
Write a pseudocode of the logical steps needed to print the name and age of
the oldest and the youngest student in a class. The input records contain the
name and age of the students. Assume a sentinel value of 99 for the age field
of the trailer record.

ALGORITHM 4 Age of youngest & oldest student

Procedure: Student_age( name: char, age: integer)


{The name & age of student are (a1, a2, a3....an), respectively}

while (age! =99)


do
if (age>=18 && age<=25)

Problem Statement 5:
The first 20 records in a data set are to be read and
printed. Write a pseudocode for the algorithm to do this job. Make sure that the
processing stops after the twentieth record.

ALGORITHM 5 records of data (array, length)


Set count1 to one
Set length to twenty
While count1 is less then equal to length
Prompt the user to enter the record
Input the record
Add one to the count1
► end while loop
Set count2 to one
While count2 is less then equal to length
Print the record of data set
► end while loop

Solution of Review Questions:


1. What is a pseudocode?
Pseudocode is a compact and informal high-level description of a computer
programming algorithm that uses the structural conventions of aprogramming language,
but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading. Pseudocode typically
omits details that are not essential for human understanding of the algorithm, such
as variable declarations, system-specific code and subroutines

2. What is the difference between flowchart and pseudocode?

A flowchart is a symbolic Pseudocode (derived from pseudo and

3. List out advantages and disadvantages of pseudocode.

Pseudocode Advantages 

1. Can be done easily on a word processor


2. Easily modified
3. Implements structured concepts well

Pseudocode Disadvantages 

1. It's not visual


2. There is no accepted standard, so it varies widely from company to company
