Problem
|
You have been asked to develop a method for
determining the total cost of a summer vacation trip based on:
- distance between your home and your
destination
- average price ($/gal) of gasoline
- miles/gallon for you car
- number of days you wish to be away from
home (includes travel time)
- cost of lodgings
- cost of meals
|
Task
|
- Develop a detailed algorithm (method) to
solve this problem.
- Represent this algorithm both ...
- textually (paragraphs) and
- visually (visual model).
- Create a brief (3-5 pages, typed,
double-spaced) report of both the problem-solving process you
undertook (Know-Need-Do)
- Submit copies of your both versions
(textual and visual) of your algorithm, and your report.
|
Notes
|
- You are not being asked to
implement your algorithm, just write it.
- Feel free to do more than what is asked
above, but note that if you do, you will neither lose nor gain points
for the extra work.
- Also, all drawings must be created using
appropriate software; no freehand drawings.
