Question

How do you validate in pseudocode a "REPEAT" "UNTIL" loop? For example if a user inputs invalid data there should be an error message that reprompts for correct data.

To show this can you write Pseudo Code for the following problem?

Create an application that can determine the yearly bonus for all company employees. Not all employees are eligible for a yearly bonus. Only employees that have been with the company longer than 2 years and must have been given a rating of “Great”. Employees receiving a rating of “Bad” are not eligible for a bonus. Lastly, each department awards a different bonus amount based on percentage of yearly salary as shown below.

IT = 5% bonus

Sales=8% bonus

The application should allow the user to continually input employee data until the HR representative has reviewed all employees and has indicated they are finished entering employee data. One by one, the application will enable the HR representative to input an employee’s name, years of service, department, rating and salary. Based on data provided, the application must print well-formatted detail stating whether or not the employee is eligible for a bonus. For employees eligible for a bonus, the application must also print the amount of the bonus to be awarded to the employee. Upon completion of entering all employee data, the application will print a report that includes the total number of employees entered by the HR representative, a count of employees that are eligible for a bonus, and the average bonus amount.

Answer 1

START

// Intializing Variables

TotalNoOfEmployees = 0

TotalBonus = 0

CountOfBonusEmployee = 0

AverageBonus = 0

//Loop for Entering the Data of Employees by HR

REPEAT

INPUT Name

INPUT YearsOfService

INPUT Department

INPUT Rating

INPUT Salary

TotalNoOfEmployees = TotalNoOfEmployees + 1 //Total Number of Employees entered by HR

IF YearsOfService > 2 AND Rating == Great

PRINT Employee is eligible for bonus

IF Department == IT

Bonus = Salary + 0.05 * Salary

TotalBonus = Bonus + TotalBonus

CountOfBonusEmployee = CountOfBonusEmployee + 1

ELSE IF Department == Sales

Bonus = Salary + 0.08 * Salary

TotalBonus = Bonus + TotalBonus

CountOfBonusEmployee = CountOfBonusEmployee + 1

ENDIF

ELSE

PRINT Employee is not Eligible for bonus

ENDIF

UNTIL (HR representative has reviewed all the Employee and Finished entering all Employee Details)

AverageBonus = TotalBonus / CountOfBonusEmployee

PRINT TotalNoOfEmployees

PRINT CountOfBonusEmployee

PRINT AverageBonus

STOP
