“ASSIGNMENT 1” TUGASAN 1
Instruction: Answer all question
Arahan: Jawab semua soalan

1. Identify input, process, output, and algorithm for problem solving below :
Kenal pasti input, proses dan output berserta algoritma bagi penyelesaian masalah di bawah:

Compare two values of A and B, and print “A is large” if the value of A is larger than B. Print “B
is large” if otherwise.

Membandingkan dua nilai A dan B, serta mencetak “ nilai A lebih besar” sekiranya nilai A lebih
besar dari B, dan cetak “nilai B lebih besar” jika sebaliknya.

10. Write a pseudo code to calculate BMI (body mass index) of a person. Based on the pseudo code,
convert into flow chart. (BMI = kg/m2 where kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m is their height
in metres).
Tuliskan kod pseudo untuk mengira BMI (body mass index) seseorang. Berdasarkan kod pseudo
tersebut, ubahkannya kepada bentuk carta alir. (BMI = kg/m2 yang mana kg ialah berat dalam
kilogram manakala m ialah tinggi dalam meter).
