    The document describes an assignment to design an algorithm and flowchart to calculate scholarship amounts based on grades. It involves: 1) Creating a pseudocode algorithm that calculates scholarship as 100% for more than 7 A's, 50% for 5-7 A's, and 0% for fewer than 5 A's. It then calculates fees owed after subtracting the scholarship amount. 2) Completing a provided flowchart by filling boxes and labeling lines to divide a number by 2 repeatedly until it reaches 0, counting each iteration. 3) Explaining validation, verification, and the purpose of the given flowchart algorithm.

    Computer Science Assignment # 2

    2.1 Algorithm Design and Problem Solving

    2.1.1 Problem Solving and Design


    1. A program is to be written to calculate the scholarship given on grades.
    A grade may qualify for a scholarship depending on the number of A’s achieved. The
    grades(AGrades), the fees(Fees), the scholarship (Scholarship) and fees to be paid after
    scholarship achieved (FeesAmount) is calculated as shown in the following pseudocode
    algorithm.

    INPUT AGrades, Fees


    IF AGrades > 7
    THEN
    Scholarship ← 1
    ELSE
    IF AGrades > 5
    THEN
    Scholarship ← 0.5
    ELSE
    Scholarship ← 0
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    FeesAmount ← Fees - (Fees * Scholarship)
    OUTPUT Paid
    The algorithm is also to be documented with a program flowchart.
    Complete the flowchart by:
    • filling in the flowchart boxes
    • labelling, where appropriate, lines of the flowchart

    2. Explain what is meant by:
    (a) Validation [2]
    (b) Verification [2]
    3. Study the given flowchart carefully.

    START

    Count = 1

    INPUT
    Number

    Number = Number DIV 2

    Yes
    Is Number = 0
    OUTPUT Count
    ?

    No
    STOP
    Count = Count + 1

    (a) Draw a trace table to show the output from the flowchart for the following sets of
    input:
    12, 42, 60, 56, 72, 128 [10]
    (b) Explain the purpose of this algorithm. [3]
