Computers and Programming

Overview:
In this assignment, you will be analyzing simple program logic, the structure of a
modular program, creating hierarchy charts, and feature of good program design.
Instructions:
Part I.
• Research:
o Early programming using low-level machine languages. Explain what
these languages looked like and what types of problems were
encountered when using them.
o Object-oriented programming techniques. Describe the advantages and
disadvantages of using object-oriented techniques.
Part II.a
1. Create either pseudocode or a flowchart for a program that does the following:
a) Prompt the user to enter a sales tax rate.
b) Prompt the user to enter a price.
c) Calculate and output the amount of tax for the item and the total price with
tax.
2. Create either pseudocode or a flowchart for a program that does the following:
a) Prompt the user to enter two times of day in HH:MM format, and then
calculate and print the difference between those two times in minutes. for more information read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

3. Create either pseudocode or a flowchart for a program that does the following:
a) Prompt the user to enter his or her birthdate: year, month, and day.
b) Calculate the number of days old the user is. (You can decide to include
or ignore leap years.)
c) Modify the program to include the number of hours old the user is.
d) Modify the program to include the number of minutes old the user is.
e) Modify the program to include the number of seconds old the user is.
