The Daily Gazette accepts classified ads in several categories. For most ads, the newspaper charges 10 cents per word for the first 50 words, and 8 cents per word for every word after that. Design Visual Logic Flowchart for a program that accepts data about an ad: customer name, ad category (for example, Apartment for rent), and number of words. Display all the input data and the price for the ad.
To create a Visual Logic Flowchart for the program that accepts data about an ad and calculates the price, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by creating a start/stop symbol to mark the beginning and end of the flowchart.
2. Add a process symbol to represent the input stage. This symbol will prompt the user to enter the customer name, ad category, and number of words.
3. Use a decision symbol to check if the number of words is less than or equal to 50.
4. If the condition is true (number of words <= 50), multiply the number of words by the rate per word ($0.10) and store it in a variable.
5. If the condition is false (number of words > 50), subtract 50 from the number of words to get the remaining words that fall into the second price category. Multiply this number by the rate per word ($0.08) and add it to the result obtained from step 4. Store this total in a variable.
6. Add an output symbol to display the customer name, ad category, the number of words, and the calculated price.
7. Finally, create a stop symbol to mark the end of the flowchart.
Here is an ASCII representation of the Visual Logic Flowchart for your program:
