Question

write an algorithm and draw a flowchart for switching off a machine after it has made 500 glass bottles. use an appropriate conditional statement for this

Answer 1

The algorithm is as follows:

1. Start

2. bottles = 0

3. While bottles != 500

3.1 Create bottle

3.2 bottle = bottle + 1

4. Switch off machine

5. Stop

See attachment for flowchart

Step-by-step explanation:

This begins the algorithm

1. Start

This initializes bottles to 0

2. bottles = 0

The loop is repeated until 500 bottles is created

3. While bottles != 500

This creates a new bottle

3.1 Create bottle

This increments the number of bottles by 1

3.2 bottle = bottle + 1

This switches of the machine after all bottles are created

4. Switch off machine

End algorithm

5. Stop
