Program Plan Intro

Lo Shu Magic Square

Program plan:

• • Declare a function named “loShuMagicSq()”.
  • ○ Use a nested “for” loop to check the row, column, and diagonal sum.
  • ○ Inside the “for” loop, create a nested “if” statement.
  • ○ Then, using the first “if” statement, check whether the row sum is equal to the diagonal sum.
  • ○ If the condition is true, then using the second “if” statement, check whether the row sum is equivalent to column sum.
  • ○ If both the conditions are true, then print the message “The square is a Lo Shu Magic Square” and return.
  • ○ If any one of the conditions fails, then print the message “The square is not a Lo Shu Magic Square” and return.
• • In the “main()” function, perform the following steps:
  • ○ Create a two-dimensional list called “inpSq”.
  • ○ Then, call the function “loShuMagicSq()” with “inpSq” as input to check whether the “inpSq” forms a “Lo Shu Magic Square”.
• • Finally, call the function “main()” to execute the program.
