1,Draw a flowchart or write pseudocode to represent the logic of a program
that allows the user to enter a value. The program multiplies the value by
10 and outputs the result.

2. Draw a flowchart or write pseudocode to represent the logic of a program


that allows the user to enter a value for the radius of a circle. The program
calculates the diameter by multiplying the radius by 2, and then calculates
the circumference by multiplying the diameter by 3.14. The program outputs
both the diameter and the circumference.

3. Draw a flowchart or write pseudocode to represent the logic of a


program that allows the user to enter two values. The program outputs the
sum of the two values.
7. Draw a flowchart or write pseudocode to represent the logic of a
program that allows the user to enter three values. The values represent
hourly pay rate, the number of hours worked this pay period, and
percentage of gross salary that is withheld. The program multiplies the
hourly pay rate by the number of hours worked, giving the gross pay.
Then, it multiplies the gross pay by the withholding percentage, giving the
withholding amount. Finally, it subtracts the withholding amount from the
gross pay, giving the net pay after taxes. The program outputs the net pay.
