Logic flow required for making a computer program.

Answer 1

it doesnt matter there all mangos.

Answer 2

this is a simple program flow explanation since I can't draw you a diagram.

1.set quantity equal to remaining mangos

2. check if the remaining mangos is (>=)greater than or equal(>=)to next box.
if (true), go to line 3. if (false), goto line 2.

3.(true) ->pick box
set remaining mangos=quantity - box

4.if remaining mangos is equal to zero
done

5.if remaining mangos is greater than zero
go back to line 2

Answer 3

I'd help, but obviously you're only posting this question so that you can cheat in computer class.
If you want help for a certain part of the problem, then fine.
Otherwise, it's really selfish and pathetic to ask people to do work that you ought to be doing.

What are you going to do if I help you cheat? Would you come to my house and mow the lawn for me?

Answer 4

Do a search on "greedy algorithms" it is obvious you are trying to cheat out a college assignment.

Answer 5

It's dead easy.

The really tough question is, how do you find that out with boxes of BANANAS.
