Background: For the protection of both the operator of a zero-turn radius mower

Question

Background: For the protection of both the operator of a zero-turn radius mower and the mower itself, several safety interlocks must be implemented. These interlocks are shown in the table below with the state associated in each. For the motor to be enabled (thus capable of running), all of the following conditions must be true: The ignition switch must be set to "Run". If the operator is not properly seated, both guide levers must be in the locked neutral position. If either guide lever is not in the locked neutral position, the brake must be off. If the blades are powered, the operator must be properly seated. The goal of this program is to determine whether the motor should be enabled or not based on menu selections for all of interlock descriptions above it. If any selection is not chosen (user exits out of menu), the program should show an error the program should terminate before showing results. Algorithm Requirements: Fill in the algorithm template provided on blackboard. It can be typed or by hand. Save or scan the file to a .pdf file and include in your final .zip submission Coding Requirements: Include required documentation and header for the problem. Include menu selections for all interlock descriptions except Motor Power Interlock. The output of your program should look like the sample output displayed below with the same spacing, indentation and number of significant digits.
