Lesson 8
Assignment 8 – working with the while and decision structure
Objectives:
· Use the while structure to keep track of:
· An accumulator
· A counter
· Use the decision structure to control/manipulate the final output
· Output the results
assignment Task Checklist
· It is expected you have read the required reading in this Lesson before starting the lab.
· Review Course Resources:
· Rules of Engagement (ROE).
· Guidance/Menu Guidance
· Use Flowgorithm to create the required algorithm to meet customer requirements
· Ensure you have test cases reflected in the comments
· File naming Convention: “lastname-l8-asgn.fprg”.
· Submit all required lab files to blackboard
assignment Task Checklist
1. Review the customer requirements
Customer Requirements: The customer needs an application that creates a report telling how many months it will take to pay of a loan given a loan payment.
The application will accept a client’s loan amount and monthly payment amount. It will then output the customer’s loan balance each month until the loan is paid off. The report should not have any negative numbers (the final month should reflect a balance of $0).
Display the month and remaining balance for each month until paid off. In addition, the program should display what the original loan amount was.
2. Review the example IPO below.
3. Open Flowgorithm and save with the required naming conventions in the “Lab Task Checklist” and remember to enter your Program Attributes.
4. Use Flowgorithm to create the algorithm meeting the customer requirements
5. Make sure you are using the correct datatype
6. Use prompts to describe required input before asking for input
7. Test using the IPO test cases and document the test case in your code as comments.
8. Display a welcoming message and a purpose statement
9. Display an End of job message and your name
10. Processing will require:
a. A counter for month
b. An accumulator for balance *hint: initialize with the loan amount
c. Logic to ensure the last month reflects a 0 balance and not a negative number (see month 11 example in render).
d. A message with the Original Loan Amount before end of program.

Output Results:
Welcome to Know Your Loan Company Enter the loan amount: 1001 Enter the payment amount: 100
Month 1 Balance is 901 Month 2 Balance is 801 Month 3 Balance is 701 Month 4 Balance is 601 Month 5 Balance is 501 Month 6 Balance is 401 Month 7 Balance is 301 Month 8 Balance is 201 Month 9 Balance is 101 Month 10 Balance is 1 Month 11 Balance is 0 Your Original Loan Amount was : 1001 Thank you for using this program |
