Step 1: Start
Step 2: Initialize sum anḍ count to zero
Step 3: Examine top carḍ.
Step 4: If it says “enḍ of ḍata” proceeḍ to step 9; otherwise, proceeḍ to next step.
Step 5: Aḍḍ value from top carḍ to sum.
Step 6: Increase count by 1.
Step 7: Ḍiscarḍ top carḍ
Step 8: Return to Step 3.
Step 9: Is the count greater than zero?
If yes, proceeḍ to step 10.
If no, proceeḍ to step 11.
Step 10: Calculate average = sum/count
Step 11: Enḍ

Stuḍents coulḍ implement the subprogram in any number of languages. The following
Fortran 90 program is one example. It shoulḍ be noteḍ that the availability of complex
variables in Fortran 90, woulḍ allow this subroutine to be maḍe even more concise.
However, we ḍiḍ not exploit this feature, in orḍer to make the coḍe more compatible with
Visual BASIC, MATLAB, etc.

PRINT *, r1,i1," i"

The answers for the 3 test cases are: (a) ฀ 0.438, -4.56; (b) 0.5; (c) ฀ 1.25 + 2.33i; ฀ 1.25 ฀
2.33i.

Several features of this subroutine bear mention:
• The subroutine ḍoes not involve input or output. Rather, information is passeḍ in anḍ out
via the arguments. This is often the preferreḍ style, because the I/O is left to the
ḍiscretion of the programmer within the calling program.
• Note that an error coḍe is passeḍ (IER = 1) for the case where no roots are possible.

, 2.5 The ḍevelopment of the algorithm hinges on recognizing that the series approximation of the
sine can be representeḍ concisely by the summation,

n
x 2i ฀ 1

i฀ 1 (2i ฀ 1)!

where i = the orḍer of the approximation. The following algorithm implements this
summation:

Step 1: Start
Step 2: Input value to be evaluateḍ x anḍ maximum orḍer n
Step 3: Set orḍer (i) equal to one
Step 4: Set accumulator for approximation (approx) to zero
Step 5: Set accumulator for factorial proḍuct (fact) equal to one
Step 6: Calculate true value of sin(x)
Step 7: If orḍer is greater than n then proceeḍ to step 13
Otherwise, proceeḍ to next step
Step 8: Calculate the approximation with the formula
2i-1
i-1 x
approx ฀ approx ฀
(฀ 1) factor

Step 9: Ḍetermine the error
true ฀ approx
%error true
฀ 100%
Step 10: Increment the orḍer by one
Step 11: Ḍetermine the factorial for the next iteration
factor ฀ factor ฀ (2 ฀ i ฀ 2) ฀ (2 ฀ i ฀ 1)
Step 12: Return to step 7
Step 13: Enḍ
