Title: Analysis of a Program Task on Array Manipulation

Introduction:
In this assignment, we will explore a task that can be performed on an array of items, with a focus on usefulness and efficiency. The chosen task can either build upon previous work or introduce a new challenge. Furthermore, it is essential to obtain approval from the instructor for the selected task. The deliverables for this assignment include a Word document, a Visual Logic file, algorithms with a desk check, a desk check table, a Visual Logic flowchart, a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, and a Learning Team Status Report.

Task Description:
To fulfill the requirements of this assignment, we will consider a specific task that involves manipulating an array of items. The task we have chosen is the calculation of the average value of the elements in the array.

Variable Definitions:
Before discussing the algorithm and implementation, let’s define the variables used in our task:
– array: A collection of elements in which the task needs to be performed.
– numElements: The total number of elements in the array.
– element: The individual item in the array.
– average: The calculated average value of the elements in the array.

Algorithm Design:
To calculate the average value of the elements in the array, we can follow these steps:

1. Initialize the sum variable to zero.
2. Iterate through each element in the array.
3. Add the value of each element to the sum variable.
4. After traversing all the elements, divide the sum by the number of elements to obtain the average value.
5. Display the average value.

Desk Check:
To ensure the correctness of our algorithm, we will perform a desk check using test values for the variables involved. Let’s assume the following values:
– array = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
– numElements = 5

We will walk through the steps of the algorithm and verify the expected results:

1. Initialize sum = 0
2. Iteration 1: element = 10, sum = 0 + 10 = 10
3. Iteration 2: element = 20, sum = 10 + 20 = 30
4. Iteration 3: element = 30, sum = 30 + 30 = 60
5. Iteration 4: element = 40, sum = 60 + 40 = 100
6. Iteration 5: element = 50, sum = 100 + 50 = 150
7. Divide sum by numElements to get the average: average = 150 / 5 = 30
8. Display average = 30

Desk Check Table:
The desk check table provides a clear overview of the variable values at each step of the algorithm:

| Iteration | Element | Sum | Average |
|———–|———|—–|———|
| 1 | 10 | 10 | |
| 2 | 20 | 30 | |
| 3 | 30 | 60 | |
| 4 | 40 | 100 | |
| 5 | 50 | 150 | 30 |

By performing the desk check, we have verified that our algorithm correctly calculates the average value of the elements in the array.

Visual Logic Flowchart:
To visualize the logic of our algorithm, we will develop a Visual Logic flowchart. This flowchart will include all modules and will be used to cross-check the values given for the desk check.

Conclusion:
In this assignment, we have analyzed a program task that involves performing a useful operation on an array of items. We have outlined the necessary steps to calculate the average value of the elements and have performed a desk check to validate the algorithm. The next steps include creating a Visual Logic file and a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to present our proposed solution to senior management. Additionally, a Learning Team Status Report will be provided, summarizing the accomplishments for the week, any issues encountered, and outlining plans for the next week.
