Question

. Create a C++ file. Prompt the user for an integer in the range from 10 to 20. If the user enters an integer outside that range, then terminate the program. Print a row of alternating characters (^ and *) of length equal to the entered integer.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Algorithm :

Algorithm: PrintAlternatingCharacters

1. Prompt the user for an integer and store it in the variable userInput.

2. Check if userInput is less than 10 or greater than 20:
   - If true, display an error message "Invalid input. The integer must be in the range from 10 to 20." and terminate the program.
   - If false, continue to the next step.

3. Initialize a loop variable i to 0.

4. While i is less than userInput, repeat the following steps:
   a. If i is even (i % 2 == 0), then:
      - Print "^" to the standard output.
   b. Otherwise, print "*" to the standard output.
   c. Increment i by 1.

5. Print a newline character to the standard output to end the row of alternating characters.

6. Terminate the program with a success status code (0).

End of Algorithm.
