As a TNB Engineer, you are required to write a program to help users estimate their monthly bill for
basic appliances. At the end of the program, the estimated bill will be shown.

Assumptions:

Power consumptions:

No Item Power consumption Daily Usage (h)

(W)
1 Lighting 14 each Ask user number and usage

3 Refrigerator 80 24 (never switch off)
4 Water heater 3600 Ask user

Other assumptions:

- 30 days in a month
- Tariff:
o First 200 kWh = RM 0.218/kWh
o After 200 kWh = RM 0.334/kWh.
o Calculation example assuming only fridge:
Usage = 80W(24h30) = 57600Wh = 57.6 kWh(less than 200 kWh)
Bill = 57.6 kWh RM0.218/kWh = RM 12.56

a. Cover page
b. short introduction
c. flowchart/pseudocode of program
d. result (example of output)
e. short discussion
f. conclusion
