Q3)

a) IPO chart

Input Process output

Payroll_amt Total_payroll

b) CA table

Condition Action

Payroll_amt<>999 Total_payroll= Total_payroll+payroll_amt

c) Designing a solution algorithm

Calculate_totalpayroll
1. Prompt operator for payroll_amt
2. Get payroll_amt
3. Set Total_payroll=0
4. repeat while payroll_amt not equal to 999
5. Total_payroll= Total_payroll+payroll_amt
6. Get payroll_amt
END while
7. Display total_payroll to the screen
