For this problem, do the following: Analyse and develop the specifications – INPUT and OUTPUT Write a solution to the problem – PSEUDOCODE and FLOWCHART Create a program to compute for the sum of the first n numbers, where n is a positive integer. The user enters a number and the program displays the sum of numbers from 1 to that number. The program should make sure that the user enters a positive integer before displaying the result.
Max Function
Statistical function is of many categories. One of them is a MAX function. The MAX function returns the largest value from the list of arguments passed to it. MAX function always ignores the empty cells when performing the calculation.
Power Function
A power function is a type of single-term function. Its definition states that it is a variable containing a base value raised to a constant value acting as an exponent. This variable may also have a coefficient. For instance, the area of a circle can be given as:

The attached picture is not related to the problem but an example only of what the pseudocode and flowchart will be.
![Find the sum of 5 numbers
Flowchart
Start
Algorithm in simple English
1. Initialize sum = 0 and
count = 0 (PROCESS)
2. Enter n (I/O)
3. Find sum + n and assign it to
sum and then increment
count by 1 (PROCESS)
4. Is count < 5 (DECISION)
if YES go to step 2
else
Print sum (1/0)
sum = 0
count = 0
Enter n
sum = sum +n
count = count + 1
Is
Print sum
count <
NO
5
YES
