4 Selection Structure (if, ifelse, switch)

Sample Program

Design a program to compute the commission payable to a sales person base on the following
scheme. Sales below RM100 will entitle 20% commission. Sales of RM100~RM500 will entitle
30%. Sales above RM500 entitle 40% commission. For example, if the sales if RM50, then the
commission is RM10. If the sales are RM300, then the commission is RM90 and if the sales are
RM600, the commission is RM150. Based on the algorithm below, write the full program.

Pseudocode

begin
print Enter sales:
read sales
if (sales < 100)
rate = 0.2
else if (sales <=500)
rate. = 0.3
else
rate = 0.4
end_if
comm = rate x sales
print comm
end

Flowchart








begin
print Enter sales:
read sales
sales < 100 sales <=
500
comm = rate x sales
print comm

end
rate = 0.2 rate = 0.3 rate = 0.4

Question 1

Design a program to compute the car parking fee base on these rates: first 2 hour, RM1 per
hour, the following hours is RM2 per hour. Design the program using pseudo codes. Example,
parking fee of 4 hours is (RM1 x 2) + (RM2 x 2) = RM6

Question 2

Write a multiple-alternative if statement to display a message indicating the educational level of
a student based on the students number of years of schooling. Use the table below. Print a
message to indicate invalid data as well.

Number of Years Educational Level
0 None
1 5 Elementary
6 8 Middle school
9 12 High School
More than 12 College


Question 3

Write a program that will computes the tax based on the tax table shown below:

Salary range (RM) Base tax
(RM)
Percentage of
excess
0.00-14999 0.00 15
15000 - 29999 2250 18
30000 - 49999 5400 22
50000 79999 11000 27
80000 150000 21600 33

The user needs to enter his salary for a year and the program will compute the tax.

Formula:
tax = (salary lowest range of the salary) * percentage of excess +
base tax

For example: if a users salary is 15700, the tax that he/she needs to pay is

tax = (15700 15000) * 0.18 + 2250
tax = 2367

Question 4

Write a program that will do task according to users selection based on the table below. For
example if the user enter 1, the user will be asked to enter an input to calculate the area of a
circle. You may want to add a menu to help the user to understand your program. Use switch.

Selection Inputs Formula Output
1 radius pi * radius * radius Area of a circle
2 width,
length
width * length Area of a
rectangle
3 length length * length Area of a square
4 length ((3 * 3) / 2) * length * length Area of a
hexagon
5 height,
base
