Week 2 Activity—Game Seating Charges
TCO 2—Given a simple problem, design a solution algorithm that uses arithmetic expressions and built-in functions.
Assignment
Your goal is to solve the following simple programming exercise. You have been contracted by a local stadium to design an algorithm determining the total seating charges for any game held at the stadium. Lower level seats cost $25 per seat, midlevel seats cost $15 per seat, and upper level seats cost $10 per seat. The algorithm should ask the user for the number of seats being purchased in each seating level. Then, the algorithm will determine the total for each level and a grand total for the entire purchase.
Be sure about the logic and design first (IPO chart, flowchart, and pseudocode).
Advanced (optional): Use constants for the per-seat cost for each level.

1) Variable List
List all the variables you will use (use valid variable names). Indicate whether the data type is string, integer, or double, and so on.
 
2) IPO Chart
List the inputs, any processes/calculations, and the outputs. Use the same valid variable names you used in Step 1.

3) Flowchart
Use MS Visio to create a flowchart. Paste the flowchart here or attach it as a separate document. Use the same valid variable names you used in Step 1.
 
4) Pseudocode
Describe your solution using pseudocode. Use the same valid variable names you selected in Step 1.

 
5) Desk-Check
Desk-check your solution using the following sample data.
Lower level seats 3
Midlevel seats 4
Upper level seats 5

Enter the expected outputs.
Expected total cost lower level ____________
Expected total cost mid level _____________
Expected total upper level ____________
Expected total for all seats _____________

For each variable in your program, write the variable name selected in Step 1, in the heading for the variable columns (not all columns may be used).
For each step in your algorithm, write its step number in the left column (not all rows may be used).
Using the sample inputs above, enter the value of each variable after each step has been executed. Note any output displayed to the user.
