Formulate a pseudocode algorithm for each of the following:
a) Obtain two numbers from the keyboard; compute the sum of the numbers and display
the result.
ANS:
Input the first number
Input the second number
Add the two numbers
Output the sum
b) Obtain two numbers from the keyboard, and determine and display which (if either) is
the larger of the two numbers.
ANS:
Input the first number from the keyboard
Input the second number from the keyboard
If the first number is greater than the second number
Print it
Else if the second number is greater than the first number
Print it
Else
Print a message stating that the numbers are equal
c) Obtain a series of positive numbers from the keyboard, and determine and display the
sum of the numbers. Assume that the user types the sentinel value -1 to indicate “end
of data entry.”
ANS:
Input a value from the keyboard
While the input value is not equal to -1
Add the number to the running total
Input the next number
Print the sum
