Worksheet 4.1: Fill in the gaps

The following algorithm should take two values as input, then output the total when:
1 the two numbers are added together
2 the two numbers are multiplied together
3 the second number is divided by the first number
4 the first number is subtracted from the second number.

Complete the gaps in the algorithm below:

INPUT number1

INPUT …………………………………………………………….

total = number1 ……………………………………………………………. number2

multiply = number1 ……………………………………………………………. number2

divide = ……………………………………………………………./ …………………………………………………………….

subtract = number2 - ……………………………………………………………

OUTPUT total

OUTPUT multiply

OUTPUT ……………………………………………………………

OUTPUT subtract

Worksheet 4.2: Trace the algorithm

Complete the trace table for following the algorithm.
OUTPUT "Enter first name"
INPUT firstname
OUTPUT "Enter second name"
INPUT secondname
namelength = firstname.length + secondname.length
OUTPUT "There are " & namelength & " letters in" & (firstname + " " +
secondname)

The value "James" is entered first and "Bond" is entered second.

firstname secondname namelength OUTPUT

Worksheet 4.3: Write a loop

Find the repeated code in the following algorithm, and re-write it using repetition.

INPUT value1
counter = 1
total = 0
total = total + value1
INPUT value1
counter = 2
total = total + value1
INPUT value1
counter = 3
total = total + value1
INPUT value1
counter = 4
total = total + value1
INPUT value1
counter = 5
total = total + value1
average = total / counter
OUTPUT average
