1. Write an if/then/else statement that sets the variable y to the value 1 if x ≥ 0. If x ≥ 0, then the statement should set y to the value 2. (Assume x already has a value.)
2. Write an algorithm that gets as input three data values x, y, and z and outputs the average of these values if the value of x is positive. If the value of x is either zero or negative, your algorithm should not compute the average but should print the error message ‘Bad Data’ instead.
3. Write an algorithm that gets as input your current credit card balance, the total dollar amount of new purchases, and the total dollar amount of all payments. The algorithm computes the new balance, which this time includes an 8% interest charge on any unpaid balance below $100, 12% interest on any unpaid balance= between $100 and $500, inclusive, and 16% on any unpaid balance above $500.
4. Write an algorithm that gets as input a single data value x and outputs the three values x2, sin x, and 1/x. This process is repeated until the input value for x is equal to 999, at which time the algorithm terminates.
5. Write an algorithm that inputs the length and width, in feet, of a rectangular carpet and the price of the carpet in $/square yard. It then determines if we can afford to purchase this carpet, given that our total budget for carpeting is $500.
