Array Manipulation Progamming - Coursework Example

A task usually involves a useful array that can be populated and processed to display a result. In this paper, the task chosen to do array manipulation is the expense analysis of the group of resorts. In this task, the various expenses of the resort like room, food, and other activities are calculated for a particular season. Here, the main aim is to explore the cost and benefits of each resort in various locations during vacation time.

The data provided for the task will be the off-season expenses of those ten resorts. Tasks usually have a pseudo code attached to them. When one looks at the pseudo-code, it can be understood as short phrases formulated to explain specific tasks in a program. According to (Vardi,2006) “It is quite common that mathematical results rely on explicit descriptions of algorithms, and these are often written in pseudo-codes”. The following is the pseudo code associated with the task.

Prompt the user to enter the number of resorts.
The user inputs several resorts into a text box and clicks a button.
Store the user’s input (# resorts ) into an Integer variable.

Input the expense as an integer variable
Display an output prompt that explains the answer as the sum
Display the result
