Pseudocode help

[cold]

Hi everyone

I am really new to programming and to be honest I struggle a lot.

Anyway, I have a class exercise that I need to do by next week. The problem is that I don't know how to write it. It will probably seem VERY simple to everyone on here, but please remember I am a noob :(

Anyway,

What I have to do is write pseudocode/algorithm for a scenario.

I understand that I need to use a 5 step process for it but I don't know how to turn it into pseudocode.

This is the scenario (there are 3 from memory that I need to do this is just one)

"you need to know the cost of sending a parcel to someone. the price of sending the item will depend upon its weight. the postal service has a standard charge per kilo of item weight."

I know I need to break it down into inputs, outputs and processes? I think that's right, but I'm struggling with writing it and getting it started.

I don't need to use any actual code for the exercise. I just have to do the pseudocode and a flow chart for each scenario.

If someone could help me with this scenario I'd be really, really grateful.

Thanks heaps

What do you have so far? We are very limited in what can be provided since this is a school assignment (and we don't want you to get hit on plagurism).
You're correct, I/O and process is the skeleton of the psuedo code. In this case, the I/O is quite simple; you need a weight, and you tell a price. Process is also quite simple, multiplying the weight by the price-per-kilo. This algorithm will not need any loops or subprocesses. I cannot get you started on this since to do that would be to actually give you the full pseudocode; it will take only 5 lines to create this plus any 'start' and 'end' indicators you may use.
Also, I don't really consider this to be a server side issue, so I'll move it to computer programming instead.
