Experiment 1

Aim
You are developing a program to manage a simple library system. The system
allows the user to:

• Search for a book by title (sequential algorithm)

• Check if a user is eligible for membership based on age (selective algorithm - if

age >= 18, eligible; else, not eligible)

• Keep track of borrowed books with a maximum limit of 5 books (iterative

algorithm to ensure no more than 5 books are borrowed).

Task:

• Write the algorithms for each functionality.

• Represent the algorithms in a flowchart.

• Implement the algorithms in Python and test them using sample inputs.

Algorithms
(a) Sequential Algorithm – Search for a Book

Algorithm:

1. Start
2. Input the list of available books
3. Input the title of the book to search
4. For each book in the list:
o If the book matches the search title → Display “Book Found” and
stop
5. If no match is found → Display “Book Not Found”
6. End
(b) Selective Algorithm – Check Membership Eligibility

Algorithm:
1. Start
2. Input the user’s age
3. If age ≥ 18 → Display “Eligible for Membership”
4. Else → Display “Not Eligible for Membership”
5. End

(c) Iterative Algorithm – Borrow Books (Max 5)

Algorithm:
1. Start
2. Set borrowed_books = 0
3. While borrowed_books < 5 do:
o Ask user: “Do you want to borrow a book? (yes/no)”
o If “yes” → Increase borrowed_books by 1
o If “no” → Break loop
4. If borrowed_books == 5 → Display “Borrowing limit reached”
5. Display total number of books borrowed
6. End

Aim
A delivery company needs to find the shortest route to deliver packages across
three cities (A, B, and C). The distance between the cities is known:

• A to B = 50 km

• A to C = 70 km

• B to C = 30 km

Task:

Use means-end analysis to determine the best delivery route that minimizes
travel distance.

Steps:

• Break the problem down into subproblems.

• Write a step-by-step algorithm showing how means-end analysis is used to find

the shortest path.

• Create a flowchart representing the algorithm and implement it using Python or

pseudocode.

1)Break the problem into subproblems (Means–End Analysis)

 State representation: current city, set of unvisited cities; known pairwise

distances.
 Goal state: all cities visited (A, B, C).
 Difference measure: number of unvisited cities (and pick the least-cost step
that reduces it).
 Operators: move from current city to any unvisited city.
 Strategy (MEA): repeatedly choose the move that most reduces the
difference with the smallest cost (nearest unvisited city).
Assumption: start at A and visiting all once is enough (no return to A).

2) Step-by-step algorithm (MEA)

1. Set current = A, unvisited = {B, C}, path = [A], total =

0.
2. While unvisited is not empty:
a. For each city u in unvisited, look up distance(current, u).
b. Choose next_city with the minimum distance (operator that best
reduces the difference).
c. Append next_city to path; add that distance to total.
d. Set current = next_city and remove it from unvisited.
3. Output path and total.

3) Flowchart (ASCII)

4) Python implementation (MEA: nearest unvisited next step)

# Distances (undirected)

('A', 'B'): 50, ('B', 'A'): 50,
('A', 'C'): 70, ('C', 'A'): 70,
('B', 'C'): 30, ('C', 'B'): 30
}

def d(x, y):

return dist[(x, y)]

def mea_shortest_route(start='A'):
unvisited = {'A', 'B', 'C'} - {start}
current = start
path = [current]
total = 0

while unvisited:
# Choose the nearest unvisited city (operator
that best reduces the difference)
next_city = min(unvisited, key=lambda u:
d(current, u))
total += d(current, next_city)
path.append(next_city)
unvisited.remove(next_city)
current = next_city
 return path, total

# Run MEA from A

route, distance_km = mea_shortest_route('A')
print("Best route (MEA):", " → ".join(route))
print("Total distance:", distance_km, "km")

output

Best route (MEA): A → B → C

Total distance: 80 km
