Question

Computers and Technology:

"Sanjay sent 23 text messages on Monday, 25 on Tuesday and 40 on Wednesday."

"Develop an algorithm (pseudocode or flowchart) which accepts the number of text messages sent each day, and computes and outputs the average number of text messages sent daily. Remember that a fraction of a text message cannot be sent!
Also, show the answer in pascal code."

Please help me.
​

Answer 1

The algorithm:

Input days

sum = 0

for i = 1 to
`days`

input text

sum = sum + text

end for

average = sum/days

print average

The program in pascal:

var days, sum, text, i:integer;

var average : real;

Begin

write ('Days: '); readln(days);

sum:=0;

for i := 1 to
`days` do
`begin`

write ('Text: '); readln(text);

sum:=sum+text;

end;

average := (sum/days);

writeln ('The average text is' , average);

End.

Step-by-step explanation:

This declares all variables

var days, sum, text, i:integer;

var average : real;

This begins the program

Begin

This gets the number of days from the user

write ('Days: '); readln(days);

Initialize sum to 0

sum:=0;

This iterates through the days

for i := 1 to
`days` do begin

This gets the text for each day

write ('Text: '); readln(text);

This sums up the texts

sum:=sum+text;

End loop

end;

Calculate average

average := (sum/days);

Print average

writeln ('The average text is' , average);

End program

End.
