Week 3 / 4 Assignment
Instructions
Week 3&4
 
This assignment will assess your basic knowledge and use of flowcharts.
While there are several different symbols to support building a
flowchart, use the attached basic flowchart symbols.
 
Problem 1: Simple payroll calculation. Calculate the amount of pay,
given/inputs employee name (first, last), hours worked, and hourly
rate. (The formula to calculate payroll is pay = hourly rate * hours
worked.) Display/outputs employee name, hourly rate, hours worked,
and pay. (Do not add any features such as overtime, bonus, taxes,
insurance, …)
Problem 2: Calculate the average miles per gallon obtained on a trip.
Given/inputs vehicle name, trip name, the amount of gas used, gas
price, and the number of miles driven. (The formula to calculate miles
per gallon is miles per gallon = number of miles driven / amount of gas
used.) Display/outputs vehicle name, trip name, gas used, miles driven,
gas price and MPG.
 
Part I
Create a flowchart for each of the above problems. Use flowchart
symbols to illustrate how you would complete your program. You may
use Microsoft PowerPoint® (preferred) or Microsoft Word ® for your
flowchart.
 
 
Use your own values to test the flow. The values should not be part of
the flowchart. The flowchart is a blueprint for any programming
language and for a wide range of input values.
 
Submission Instructions:
Make sure each submission is labeled with the following:
Your Name
Course Name, Section (example: ENTD200 B002 Spr15)
Instructor name
Week #
Date completed
 
Part II
Create a Python program for each problem described above.
Create a comment block for each Python code (starts at line 1 of your
code) with the following information:
 
"""
  Your Name
  Course Name, Section (example: ENTD200 B002 Spr18)
  Instructor name  
  Week #
  Date completed
  notes
 
"""
 
Sample output (Payroll)
Enter employee Name -> Al Bunday
Enter hours worked -> 35
Enter hourly rate  -> 7.25
Al Bunday:  35.0 * 7.25 = 253.75
 
Sample output (MPG)
Enter Car Name -> Dodge
Enter Trip Name -> Supermarket
Enter Miles driven -> 50
Enter Gas used -> 5
Enter Gallon price -> 3.5
 
Dodge:
Trip name: Supermarket
Miles driven 50.0
Gas used: 5.0
Fuel cost: 17.5
MPG: 10.0
 
Submission Instructions:
Use variable names related to the task, do not use single letter
variables. Comment/organize your code for easy reading and
maintenance,
 
The file name for both flowcharts should be
Week3_4_{yourlastname}.ppt, do not include the braces as part of the
name.
 
Week3_4_P1_{yourlastname}.py for payroll code
Week3_4_P2_{yourlastname}.py for MPG code

Hints:

1. The given/input is listing the required inputs,

and display/output is listing the required outputs.
2. You can hardcode values (see below) or use input()
#The code below is not acceptable
print("2 + 5 = 7")
 
#This is an acceptable code
fnum=2
snum=5
sum=fnum+snum
 
print(fnum,"+",snum,"=",sum)
