Conduct of Lab
1. Students are required to perform this experiment individually.
2. In case the lab experiment is not understood, the students are advised to seek help from the course
instructor, lab engineers, assigned teaching assistants (TA) and lab attendants.

Theory and Background

A programming algorithm is a procedure or formula used for solving a problem. It is based on conducting
a sequence of specified actions in which these actions describe how to do something, and your computer
will do it exactly that way every time. An algorithm works by following a procedure, made up of inputs.
Flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm. Programmers often use it as a program-planning
tool to solve a problem. It makes use of symbols which are connected among them to indicate the flow of
information and processing. The process of drawing a flowchart for an algorithm is known as
“flowcharting”.

Lab Tasks

Task A

Write an algorithm to take 10 integers as input, find the average, then display the average as
output.

Algorithm to find the average of ten inteagers

1) START
2) Take the input of ten integers. Lets say a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, I, j.
(where a can be any number)
3) Add all the input and let the answer be equal to “sum” as:
sum=a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j
4) Divide the number “sum” with 10 and let the answer be equal
to result. As: Result=Sum/10.
5) Display the “result”
6) End
Task B

Draw a flowchart for task A.

Task C
Push the repository.
Assessment Rubric for Lab
