Review the customer requirements and IPO found below: The customer needs to determine what the shipping costs will be for a package. The shipping cost is determined by weight. Once the weight is entered the program should display the rate used and the total shipping charges. Weight of Package Rate per Pound 2 lbs or less 1.00 Over 2 but not more than 6 lbs 2.25 Over 6 but not more than 10 lbs 3.50 Over 10 lbs 4.10

1. Review the customer requirements and IPO found below:

1. Open Flowgorithm and save with the required naming conventions in the “Lab Task Checklist” and remember to enter your Program Attributes.
2. Create the algorithm using Flowgorithm to meet the customer requirements.
   1. Display a welcome message and the purpose of the program
   2. Reserve Memory Locations (Declare) - Use as short and meaningful names
      1. Variables - Declare variables close to where they will be used
         1. Use the correct naming conventions (found in ROE)
      2. Named constants - Declare named constants at the start of the program
         1. Use the correct naming conventions (found in ROE)
         2. Use named constants for each of the different rates. Once rate is determined set the rate to that value. Example: rate = RATE1
      3. Make sure you are using the correct data type
   3. Add Decision Structures as needed to meet customer requirements.
   4. Use prompts to describe required input before asking for input
   5. The output must clearly delineate what each value is.
   6. Display end of program message with programmer’s name
   7. Document your test cases using the comment block of flowgorithm

SPECIAL NOTE:

Do not use magic numbers when named constants are a better choice. i.e., #cost of tickets, TAX rate, fee charges, test for fee.  Make sure your calculation uses the NAMED CONSTANTS instead of actual numbers.
