Programming Fundamentals - Designing Solution

The document discusses algorithms and how to design and write computer programs to solve problems. It provides examples of algorithms to calculate the average of two numbers, find the area of a circle, add two numbers, and find the maximum of two numbers. It also discusses using pseudo code and flow charts to design algorithms and the steps to compile and execute a computer program in C. Finally, it suggests topics for further research and algorithms to solve problems involving mixing water in jugs and finding a heavier ball using a balance scale.

Write pseudo code and Draw flow chart for below problems
You have two jugs 1 has a 5 liters capacity and the other has 3 liters . They both have irregular shapes that means you cannot tell by simply looking how full the jugs are unless you fully fill them up with water. How would you obtain 4 liters of water using the two jugs? (Two ways) You have 8 pool balls. The problem is, one of them is heavier than the rest. You have two attempts to find the heavier ball using a weight balance. Now show me how to do it!
