Project 1: Supplemental Pseudocode

The following is sample pseudocode for HW2, part 2, which you can use as the template for your Javascript program for Project 1. I am providing this to the class so that those who didn't do so well on HW2 can have a fresh start for this project, instead of getting penalized twice. For those who received a good grade on HW2, it would probably be easier for you to use your own pseudocode as the base for Project 1, but that is entirely up to you: you're welcome to still use the provided pseudocode, if you want.

The sample pseudocode solution to HW2, question 2:

	  Display "Enter the grade for homework 1"
	  Read <hw1>
          Display "Enter the grade for homework 2"
	  Read <hw2>
          Display "Enter the grade for homework 3"
	  Read <hw3>
	  Display "Enter the grade for project 1"
          Read <proj1>
          Display "Enter the grade for project 2"
          Read <proj2>
	  Display "Enter the grade for project 3"
	  Read <proj3>
	  Display "Enter the grade for project 4"
 	  Read <proj4>
          Display "Enter the grade for exam 1"
	  Read <exam1>
	  Display "Enter the grade for exam 2"
	  Read <exam2>
	  Display "Enter the grade for exam 3"
	  Read <exam3>
				  
				  
	  <hw points>   = (<hw1> + <hw2> + <hw3>) * .04
	  <proj points> = (<proj1> + <proj2> + <proj> + <proj4>) * .07
	  <exam points> = (<exam1> + <exam2> + <exam3>) * .20
          <final percentage> = <hw points> + <proj points> + <exam points>

          Display "The grade for the course is", <final percentage>

Note: neither the provided pseudocode, nor your own HW2 solution, cover the final part of Project 1: converting the numerical grade to a letter grade. That is left to you as an exercise: don't forget to do that part! It should be pretty straightforward: a simple "if/else-if/.../else" sequence like we covered in lecture should work perfectly.

Good luck!
