cs101 assignment 4 solution

solution:

 

The following can help explain the concept of algorithms in relation to programming.

Problem: Calculate the average of three given numbers.
Let the given numbers be a, b, c
Step 1: Set aside memory for all values (a, b, c,)
Step 2: Assign the values to a memory location (the given numbers)
Step 3: Calculate the average of the values using the formula (a+b+c)/3
Step 4: Display the answer in the proper format, in this case the average.
The problem statement is programmatically solved with the use of four steps in the algorithm.

Problem:Find the gain or loss of an item, as the case may be, and compute the gain or loss percentage, given the cost price and the selling price.

Gain = S.P. (sell price) - C.P (cost price).
Gain % = (Gain * 100)/C.P.
Loss = C.P. - S.P.
Loss % = (Loss * 100)/C.P.
(Percentage gain or loss is calculated on the C.P.)

Algorithm:
Step 1: Obtain the values of S.P. and C.P. Set aside memory for S.P. and C.P., gain percent and loss percent.
Step 2: Assign values to memory location.
Step 3: Perform mathematical computations.
Step 4: Display results in the proper format.

If C.P. = S.P, then
Declare "There is neither gain nor loss in the transaction"
Stop
If S.P. > C.P., then
Calculate Gain = S.P - C.P
Calculate Gain % = (Gain * 100)/C.P
Write "Answer: Gain is $" followed by value of Gain
Write "Answer: Gain % is" followed by value of Gain %
Stop
Else
Calculate Loss = C.P. - S.P
Calculate Loss % = (Loss * 100)/C.P.
Write "Answer: Loss is $" followed by value of Loss
Write "Answer: Loss % is" followed by values of Loss %
Stop


The algorithm is executed in order, starting with Step 1:
In step 1, we set aside memory locations for S.P. and C.P
In step 2, we assign the numerical values of S.P. and C.P. to the memory locations.
In step 3, the answer to the phrase If C.P. - S.P. could be yes or no. If the answer is yes, then only the instructions following the word "then" are executed.
In step 3, if the answer to the phrase S.P. > C.P. is yes, then steps to a to e before else are executed. If the answer to S.P. > C.P. is no, implying that C.P. >= S.P., steps a to e after else are executed.
Step 4 is the last in the process. The result of the computations is displayed and the algorithm is terminated after its execution.

Words such as "IF", "THEN", and "ELSE are used to emphasize their distinctive nature in executing the algorithm.
Flowcharts

When thinking of a Flowchart think of a visual representation of how a process works, depicting the sequence of steps at a minimum. A flowchart offers many advantages including the following.
Helps locate the key elements of a process. It draws clears lines between the end of one process and the start of another.
Brings clarity and improvement to a process.
Helps identify appropriate areas for improvement in a program.

The following shows a format of a sample flowchart that identifies the starting and ending points of a sequential process with decision points.

 

 

Flowcharts depict different types of actions and steps in a process through special shapes. The sequence of steps and the relationships between these steps is shown using arrows. The following is a list of the different shapes in a flow chart and what they represent.

The following shows the flowchart of gain and loss for a business.

 Pseudocode

Pseudocode, aka false code, is an informal language for relating problem solving steps. The steps used in pseudocode are simple and can be implemented with ease into any programming language. Pseudocode uses a combination of English words, mathematical notations, and a set of capitalized keywords such as BEING, END, READ, PRINT, FREAD, FPRINT, IF, ELSE, ELSEIF, ENDIF, WHILE, DO and ENDWHILE.

Pseudocode consists of:
Fundamental control structures such as Sequence, Selection and Repetition.
Three other types of statements, which include Input, Output and Assignment.
Subroutines or small programs that can be added to modularize pseudocode. The subroutines are also written using the pseudocode notation.

Here is an example of pseudocode.

Begin procedure
Input Widget Price
Taxes = 0.06 x Widget Price
Amount Due = Widget Price + Taxes
Output Taxes and Amount Due
End procedure

QUESTION NO 1 WHAT DO U you think goals might play in a company’s planning for any possible pandemic outbreak?list down some goals that you think might will be important . 

Answer. Goals are desires outcomes for individuals, groups, or entire organization. They are also called ‘objectives’. The goals play very important role in a company’s planning They guide all management decision and from the criterion against which actual work being done is measured. They are also called the FOUNDATION of planning. Goal setting and planning is often called the primary management function because it established the basis for all other things that managers do. Without goal setting and planning, managers would not know what to organize and lead, and control. in other words goals provide the direction for all management decision and actions and from the criteria against actual accomplishment are measured. Some goals that is important: Most company‘s goals can be classified as either strategic or financial .every organization has its own goals, in this case …. 

Respect the environment 

Promote community welfare 

Continue implementing quality system 

Identify potential unexpected events 

Have a appropriate response (plan)in place if these unexpected events occur 

Question no 2 : 

what types of plan companies need for this situatuation (for instance short term ,long term or both )explain why you think these plans are important in this situation . 

Answer. The most popular ways to describe organizational plans are by their BREDTH, TIME FRAME, SPECIFICITY, and FREQUENCY OF USE. Strategic plans are long term, directional,and single use. operational plans are shorter term ,specific ,and standing . In this case government and health officials need to time frame (long term and short term planning). Why these plans are are important? Planning provides direction to government and health official ,that what they must contribute to reach goals ,they can coordinate their activities, cooperate with each other and do what it takes to accomplish those goals. Without planning, departments and individuals might work at cross-purpose, preventing the organization from moving efficiently towards its goals. Planning also reduce uncertainty by forcing managers to look ahead. Planning minimize waste and redundancy. Planning established the goals used in controlling. Planning will increase the performance of health officials in this case to limit the spread of decease. 

Question no 3. 

Being a manager what planning tools would you recommended to deal with this type of situation effectively? 

Answer: There are different types of tools that used in planning like environment analysis, environment scanning, competitor intelligence, forecasting and benchmarking. In this situation I think benchmarking is the best tool to deal with this type of situation effectively. The basic idea behind benchmarking is that we can improve performance by analyzing and coping the methods of leaders in various fields. As in this situation Asian and particularly south Asian countries had planned. According to survey 80 corporate nearly every company had someone in charge of such catastrophic situation and most of them had clearly mapped out plans that could be implemented immediately in such a crisis situation. So we can improve performance by analyzing and copying the methods of that company.

PLANNING
IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING
As the news of influenza pandemic broke out, it was witnessed that the government and health
officials rushed to purchasing medicines, conducting disaster drills and taking such initiatives
that would limit the spread of these diseases.
However, one survey indicated that 72% companies had not even begun to prepare for the bird
flu pandemic. Most of the business officials in United States stated that they had nobody in
charge of a plan that could identify the severity of the issue and its impact on operations. On the
contrary, Asian and particularly Southeast Asian countries had planned for this situation, as
they previously had to deal with the SARS outbreak in 2003 which brought the regions’
commerce to a standstill. But they were well prepared this time. A survey of 80 corporate
officials held by American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong found that nearly every
company had someone incharge of such catastrophic situations and 60 percent stated that they
had clearly mapped out plans that could be implemented immediately in such a crisis situation.
For instance, HSBC, a global bank took steps to help and prepare its employees work from
home and also prepared to divide work among multiple sites. Even FedEx said it had prepared
contingency plans down to every district or market in Asia Pacific.
But what about those businesses that had not yet prepared for a potential outbreak? A report on
the outbreak of such a deadly flu reported. “In a world where the global supply chain and real-
time inventories determine almost everything we do, down to the food available for purchase in
our grocery stores, the importance of advanced planning can not be overstated.”
1. What role do you think goals might play in a company’s planning for any possible
pandemic outbreak? List down some goals that you think might will be important
2. What type of plans might companies need for this situation ( for instance short term,
long term or both) Explain why you think these plans are important in this situation
3. Being a manager what planning tools would you recommend to deal with this type of
situation effectively?
