Question

Does anyone know how to write the pseudocode for a program that gets the radius and height of a cylinder from the user, and then calculates the volume of the cylinder by using the following formula:

Volume = radius * radius * height * 3.1416

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

You have just written the pseudocode yourself!!!

Unless you don't know what a pseudocode is!

Answer 2

Ok. I have had enough of you. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. I know exactly what pseudocode is. I am asking if anyone knows how to and\or is willing to write out the code in the problem so that I can see what it looks like. The next time you respond to one of my questions with a smart retriceattitude I am going to report you to the moderators of this site Chris2332. Everyone else, I apologize for that. I'm sure that there are decent people on here that are willing to help.

Answer 3

You really do have all the p-code already.

Ask user for height; store in h
Ask user for radius; store in r
calculate volume v = r * r * h + Pi
print v

Answer 4

@Nyeel I don't really know why you reacted like that. I was very polite and i said that you have already done what you ask for.

Was just trying to understand what you needed help with.

No problem if you don't need my help anymore, it's fine!

Best of luck mate!

Answer 5

Chris2332 I apologize. You have placed exclamation points in every response you have given me thus far and it seems like you are yelling at me. Your online etiquette could use a little work and I guess I may have taken you the wrong way. Once again I apologize. jon.stromer.galley, thank you very much indeed. That was exactly what I was looking for.

Answer 6

Guys how would I write out the code for getting the volume of a cylinder to look like the code in this example:

Main Module

// Declare global variables that are used in more than one module
Declare OriginalPrice As Float
Declare DiscountPercentage As Float
Declare Discount As Float
Declare SalesTaxPercentage As Float
Declare SalesTax As Float
Declare DiscountedPrice As Float
Declare TotalPrice As Float

// Call submodules
Call Get User Input Module
Call Calculate Discount Module
Call Calculate Discounted Price Module
Call Calculate Sales Tax Module
Call Calculate Total Price Module
Call Display Total Price Module

End Program


Get User Input Module

// Declare a local variable that is only used in this module
Declare ItemName As String

// Get the name of the item
Write “What is the name of the item?”
Input ItemName

// Get the original price of the item from the user
Write “What is the original price?”
Input OriginalPrice

// Get the discount percentage from the user
Write “What is the discount percentage?”
Input DiscountPercentage

// Get the sales tax percentage from the user
Write “What is the sales tax percentage?”
Input SalesTaxPercentage


Calculate Discount Module

// Calculate the amount of the discount
Set Discount = OriginalPrice * DiscountPercentage / 100


Calculate Discounted Price Module

// Calculate the discounted price
Set DiscountedPrice = OriginalPrice - Discount


Calculate Sales Tax Module

// Calculate the amount of the sales tax
Set SalesTax = DiscountedPrice * SalesTaxPercentage / 100


Calculate Total Price Module

// Calculate the total price
Set TotalPrice = DiscountedPrice + SalesTax


Display Total Price Module

// Display the result to the user
Write “The total price of the item is $” + TotalPrice

Answer 7

Ohh exclamation mark is my thing... not yelling, it's in every one of my sentences!!! :)

Answer 8

Well then I am very sorry for jumping to conclusions. I apologize if I have offended you by my earlier post sir. Well then, now that we can be friends again, I have another programming question.

If you would, could you tell me what is the difference between a sequential control structure and a selection control structure? Also, could you explain how both control structures could be used in the algorithm for the simple task of making a peanut butter sandwich and how the code would look please?
