Start Begin
input x, y
Calculate Pay - sequence
sum = x + y
print sum
input x End
Start input y
Begin
input hours
input rate
input hours pay = hours * rate
print pay
End sum = x + y

input rate

output sum
pay = hours * rate

Start
Begin
input x
input y
input x input z
input y sum = x + y + z input hours, rate
input z avg = sum / 3.0
print avg
End
sum = x + y + z
F
avg = sum / 3.0
hours ≤ 40

T
print avg
pay = 40 * rate +
pay = hours * rate (hours - 40) * 1.5 * rate

End

print pay

Begin
input hours, rate
if hours ≤ 40 then
pay = hours * rate
else
pay = 40 * rate + (hours – 40) * rate * 1.5
print pay

Comment Strictly speaking, the above flowchart corresponds more to the

pseudocode on the right hand side. However, as you can see, ‘gotos’ make
code less modular and more unreadable.
