Note that late projects will NOT be accepted.

Point Value:

This project is worth 30 points

Objectives:

• To practice solving problems in a generic manner
• To practice writing basic pseudocode for the solution of a problem

Assignment:

Solve each of the problems below for their specific solutions. Just do this on a piece of paper (do not hand it in). Then determine the generic solutions to the problems. Write the generic solutions in pseudocode. Type the pseudocoded solutions in to a single text file using the xemacs editor. Send the file as an e-mail attachment to Zhipeng (zhipeng1@cs.umbc.edu). Do NOT send a copy to me. Make the subject of your e-mail "Project 2 - Basic Algorithms".

Make sure that your pseudocoded solutions include, as discussed in class:

• the source of any input data
• the destination of any output
• labels for any output

• Follow the same pseudocode format as shown in class.
• Circle all numeric values in the problem description. Decide whether or not each should be an input to the general solution.
• I do not expect you to use any looping or selection control structures in the solutions to these problems.

Problem 1 (10 points)

Ellen went on a shopping spree with her Visa credit card and lost the receipts. She remembers the prices of the items that she bought and now needs to compute the total amount that she spent. These are the prices of the items:

Problem 2 (20 points)

It is the end of the semester and Jeremy wants to compute his final numeric score for CMSC 104. His grades during the semester were as follows:

The eight projects are worth 40% of Jeremy's final grade and the exams are worth 20% each.
