When a student wants to rent a laptop, the staff member will enter the day and  month on which the transaction is taking place e.g., if the customer rents a laptop  on the 5th of September, the staff member will enter a ‘5’ and ‘9’.    The application will then check that the day of the transaction is within the first  two weeks (between and including the 1st and 14th ) of the month and calculate on  what day of the month the laptop should be returned. The following checks must  be made:  If the day of the start of the transaction is greater than 14 or the month is not valid (1 to 12), the application will ask the staff member to re-enter the  transaction date.  If the starting day of the transaction is between 1 and 14 and the month is valid ( 1 to 12) the application can continue.  Use a case statement to determine the month name from the month number and display the return date e.g., if the customer rented the laptop  on the 5 th of the 9 th month, the return date should be displayed as 12  September.  Using pseudocode, represent the logic contained above.

Question

When a student wants to rent a laptop, the staff member will enter the day and 

month on which the transaction is taking place e.g., if the customer rents a laptop 

on the 5th of September, the staff member will enter a ‘5’ and ‘9’. 

 

The application will then check that the day of the transaction is within the first 

two weeks (between and including the 1st and 14th ) of the month and calculate on 

what day of the month the laptop should be returned. The following checks must 

be made: 

  • If the day of the start of the transaction is greater than 14 or the month is

not valid (1 to 12), the application will ask the staff member to re-enter the 

transaction date. 

  • If the starting day of the transaction is between 1 and 14 and the month is

valid ( 1 to 12) the application can continue. 

  • Use a case statement to determine the month name from the month

number and display the return date e.g., if the customer rented the laptop 

on the 5 th of the 9 th month, the return date should be displayed as 12 

September.
