Question

A distributor of Christmas items ships a lot of Christmas tree ornaments. They only have one size shipping-box. Sixteen ornaments will fill a shipping-box.                    Produce the pseudocode logic for an algorithm that will compute the number of shipping-boxes required for the number of ornaments to be shipped. The                    information is given as follows:
                    - The output will consist of a screen display showing the number of shipping-boxes needed for a customer's order.
                    - The input will consist of the number of ornaments ordered by a customer, entered from the keyboard.
                    - The processing will compute the number of boxes needed to fulfill the order. The number of boxes is computed as: number of ornaments ordered divided by the                    number of ornaments that will fill a box. If there is a remainder, the number of boxes must be incremented by one.
                    Note: Your solution should contain a mainline, and at least three subroutines

Explanation / Answer

Here is your pesudocode with 3 subroutines and main

Start

Main :

delare numberOfInputs as integer type

Call input() method and store its value to numberOfInputs

call process (numberOfInputs ) method in which pass the number of inputs as paremeter

store the returned value in to integer type variable, say numberOfBoxes

call the output(numberOfBoxes) method

End Main

input :

Print "Enter the number of ornaments ordered by a customer. "

store the input by the user into integer type variable say noOfInputs

return noOfInputs

End input

process(int noOfOrnaments) :

delcare a integer type variable, say boxCapacity and initialize it to 16

declare a integer type variable, say noOfBoxRequired

declare a integer type variable, say remaining

noOfBoxRequired = noOfOrnaments / boxCapacity

remaining = noOfOrnaments % boxCapacity

IF remaining != 0

noOfBoxRequired = noOfBoxRequired +1

return noOfBoxRequired

End process

output(int numberOfBoxes) :

print "he number of shipping-boxes needed for the customer's order is " numberOfBoxes

End output

End
