Question

Design a program that inputs a list of up to 50 real values from a data file, Problem1InputFile.txt, and print the count and smallest value to the screen.

Hint: an array is not really needed, but you can use one.

Here is one sample input file for Problem1InputFile.txt (note that there is one real value per line and there is an extra blank line at the end):

10.5

2.1

2.0

-1.7

-0.5

Sample output:

Count:       5

Smallest: -1.7

1. Give pseudocode for the problem & store it in a file (Problem1Pseudocode.docx).

2. Write a Java program (Problem1Program.java) using the pseudocode in (a).

3. Create your testing-input-file (Problem1InputFile.txt) for testing your program.

Just pseudocode please

Answer 1

Below is the required pseudocode:

Declare number as real
Declare total as real
Declare smallest as real

Set total = 0

Open file Problem1InputFile.txt to read
number = read next number
Set smallest = number

while there is a real number
   number = read next number
   if number < smallest
       smallest = number
   end if
   total = total + number
end while

Display total
Display smallest

This completes the requirement. Let me know if you have any queries.

Thanks!
