cmis 102 HW 2

Program Description:

The program I’m creating is going to be utilized to determine the total cost to build a gaming computer using a base model and upgrading 3 key parts.

Analysis:

Input:
The input of this program will consist of the base price (BasePrice), the graphics card choice (GraphicsCardChoice), the monitor choice (MonitorChoice), and the hard drive choice (HardDriveChoice). After the user has made all of the required choices, the program will determine the appropriate cost of that option: GraphicsCardCost, MonitorCost, and HardDriveCost.
Output:
The required output for the program will be the total cost (TotalCost) of the state of the art gaming computer. The program will then determine the total cost of the state of the art gaming computer by using the following computation: TotalCost = BasePrice+Cost+MonitorCost+CaseCost.

Using the Hierarchical Design, I am creating a flow chart or blueprint of how basically this program will work:

In this program, I will be using various variables with different definitions. The table below will list and identify the variables:
