Write the pseudocode for the following scenario:
A shop owner needs to increase the prices for all his stock by 6% to keep up with inflation. He stores
the product names in one array called “Product” which has 5 elements. This array stores the names
of the products.
PRODUCT ARRAY
Rice Sugar Tea Porridge Milk
He stores the prices of the corresponding items (in Rands) in a parallel array called “Price”.
PRICE ARRAY
25.99 22.50 12.00 20.00 18.50
i.e., Rice - R25.99
Sugar - R22.50
Tea - R12.00
Porridge - R20.00
Milk - R18.50
• Declare and populate both arrays with the product names and their corresponding
prices (use a loop).
(9)
• Calculate and add 6% to the existing price for each product. Store the new prices in the
“Price” array.
(5)
• Display the product name with the new corresponding prices. (4)
• Write descriptive comments in the pseudocode.
DECLARE Product ARRAY with 5 elements
DECLARE Price ARRAY with 5 elements
FOR i = 0 TO 4 //Populate arrays with input from user
PRINT "Enter product name: "
INPUT Product[i]
PRINT "Enter product price: "
INPUT Price[i]
ENDFOR
FOR i = 0 TO 4 //Add 6% to each price
Price[i] = Price[i] + (Price[i] * 0.06)
ENDFOR
FOR i = 0 TO 4 //Display product name with new price
PRINT Product[i] + " - R" + Price[i]
ENDFOR
thanks
You're welcome! Let me know if you need any help with anything else.
Here's the pseudocode for the given scenario:
```
// Declare and populate the Product array with product names
Product[5] = ["Rice", "Sugar", "Tea", "Porridge", "Milk"]
// Declare and populate the Price array with initial prices
Price[5] = [25.99, 22.50, 12.00, 20.00, 18.50]
// Calculate and add 6% to the existing price for each product
FOR i = 0 to 4:
newPrice = Price[i] + (Price[i] * 6 / 100) // Calculate the new price with 6% increase
Price[i] = newPrice // Store the new price in the Price array
// Display the product name with the new corresponding prices
FOR i = 0 to 4:
DISPLAY Product[i] + " - R" + Price[i]
```
Explanation:
1. Firstly, we declare and populate the "Product" array which stores the names of the products.
2. Next, we declare and populate the "Price" array which stores the initial prices of the corresponding products.
3. We use a loop to iterate through each product in the "Price" array and calculate the new price by adding 6% to the existing price.
4. The calculated new price is stored back in the "Price" array at the same index.
5. Finally, we use another loop to display the product name along with its new corresponding price by accessing elements from both arrays.
