  Data Structures andAlgorithms Sequential Logic Structure The most commonly used and the simplest logic structure is the sequential structure. All problems use the sequential structure, and most problems use it in conjunction with one or more of the other logic structures.

  Data Structures andAlgorithms Sample Problem Mr. Frodo is looking for a bank that will give the most return on her money over the next five years. She has P100,000.00 to put into a savings account. The standard equation to calculate principal plus interest at the end of a period of time is. AMOUNT = P*( 1 + I/M)^(N*M) Where : P = PRINCIPAL (amount of money to invest) I = INTEREST (percentage rate the bank pays to the investor) N = NUMBER OF YEARS (time for which the principal is invested) M = COMPOUND INTERVAL (the number of times per year the interest is calculated and added to the principal Problem Solving with the Sequential Logic Structure *Property of STI Page 2 of 4

  Data Structures andAlgorithms Sample Problem Problem Analysis The required processing is the equation for the AMOUNT. Solution ideas include the following: 1. Enter all input data as variables 2. Enter the principal and interest as constants and the other values as variables. 3. Enter the data for one bank per run. 4. Enter the data for all banks per run.
