Input:
nState: the number of states
BPL: list of population below poverty line
Process:
Find the total population below poverty line
and divide by the number of states
Output:
average population below poverty line
The pseudocode representation of this algorithm is as follows:
input nStates, BPL
totalBPL = 0
for i = 1 to nStates
totalBPL = totalBPL + BPL[i]
end-for
average = totalBPL / nStates
print average
The flowchart representation of the above algorithm is as follows (Fig 4.11):

Start

input nStates, BPL[1..nStates]

totalBPL = 0

i = 1

i<=nStates

False True
totalBPL = totalBPL + BPL[i]

i = i + 1

average = totalBPL/nStates

print average

Stop
