Question

including the pseudocode, what is the data file and variables list for this. no programming language was assigned to this. there wasnt a language given. intro to programming logic and design 9th edition, doesnt actually use a specific code at all.

a https://blackboard.sanjac.edu/webap ?? Students, Your fourth assignment is based on concepts for Modules, Case structures, and Logical Operators Submit steps #1(Problem, variable list, & data file) ( and #3-Psuedocode only The Problem: An applicant is applying for a job at Trackdata Computing Company. The company requires that all applicants must be a U.S. citizen, 21 years of age or older, pass a drug test, and have a BS degree in Computer Science, Networlk Security, or Mangement of Information Systems. Your program should check for these existing conditions and output an appropriate message(s) if anyone of those conditions are not met. If the applicant passes all requirements, output a message indicating that the applicant is hired.

Explanation / Answer

In this problem, you have to tell three things

1. list of variables

2.data file

3. pseudo-code

List of variable

This is the list of all attributes associated with an applicant like its citizenship, age, degree, drug test result. So for each attribute we can have a variable that can tell us about the existence of that attribute for that applicant

like variables could be

age = any number

degree = any name/string/characters

drug_test = 1 or 0 (if 1, the applicant has passed the drug test, if 0 applicant hasn't passed the drug test)

citizen =name of the country of the applicant

DATA FILE

Data file is basically the file which will have all the data of all the applicants . So you have to create a sample data file where you should be having several applicant entries and their variables values .a probable structure of data file can be like this (tabular form)

Applicant         age                citizen                degree                 drug_test

john                  24                    US                       BS_CS                         0

will                    21                    UK                       BS_NS                        1

Kate                 23                      US                     BS_MIS                        1

and so on you can add as many entries as you want.

BS_CS = bachelor of science in computer science

BS_NS = bachelor of science in network security

BS_MIS = bachelor of science in management of imformation system

PSUEDO CODE

For psuedo code you dont need a programming language , you just need to write the logical structure of the code which can be a prottype for any coding language.

for each applicant in data file

{

if age < 21

then print - applicant doesnt meet the age criteria

else if citizen != US

then print - applicant doesnt meet the citizenship criteria (not a US citizen)

else if drug_test = 0

then print - applicant hasnt passed the drug test

else if degree = !BS_CS and degree = !BS_NS and degree != BS_MIS

then print applicant doesnt have the required BS degree

else

print - applicant is hired- meets all criteria
