Question

Write the pseudocode for the following scenario:
A shop owner needs to increase the prices for all his stock by 6% to keep up with inflation. He stores
the product names in one array called “Product” which has 5 elements. This array stores the names
of the products.
PRODUCT ARRAY
Rice Sugar Tea Porridge Milk
He stores the prices of the corresponding items (in Rands) in a parallel array called “Price”.
PRICE ARRAY
25.99 22.50 12.00 20.00 18.50
i.e., Rice - R25.99
Sugar - R22.50
Tea - R12.00
Porridge - R20.00
Milk - R18.50
• Declare and populate both arrays with the product names and their corresponding
prices (use a loop).
(9)
• Calculate and add 6% to the existing price for each product. Store the new prices in the
“Price” array.
(5)
• Display the product name with the new corresponding prices. (4)
• Write descriptive comments in the pseudocode.

Answer 2

DECLARE Product ARRAY with 5 elements
DECLARE Price ARRAY with 5 elements

FOR i = 0 TO 4 //Populate arrays with input from user
PRINT "Enter product name: "
INPUT Product[i]
PRINT "Enter product price: "
INPUT Price[i]
ENDFOR

FOR i = 0 TO 4 //Add 6% to each price
Price[i] = Price[i] + (Price[i] * 0.06)
ENDFOR

FOR i = 0 TO 4 //Display product name with new price
PRINT Product[i] + " - R" + Price[i]
ENDFOR
