The following is a formal design for the density problem written using pseudocode. You need not write out your design solutions in this formal a manner; however, you SHOULD be at least sketching outlines of all your solutions.
Density: Main Program Storage Specifications Constants (specify global or local) Variable side, volume, mass : real density: real End Storage Begin Density output "Enter the length of the cube in cm " input side output "Enter the mass of the cube in grams" input mass volume <--- side * side * side density <--- mass / volume output "The density of a cube of side ", side, "and mass", mass, " is ", density end Density
The following is the C code for implementing the above very formal pseudocode outline for the problem of finding the density of a cube.
