Program Plan Intro

Fuel efficiency of a multi-leg journey

Program Plan:

  • Declare the “MPG” function.
    • Assign the values to the variables.
    • Check “leg” is not equal to newline.
      • Get the current odometer and amount of gas from the user.
      • In “try” block,
        • Split the odometer reading and amount of gas from the user input and assign it into the separate variables.
        • Increment the “count” value.
        • Calculate the distance traveled.
        • Calculate the MPG for leg.
        • Set the new odometer reading.
        • Display the leg.
        • Add values to trip total.
      • In exception block, break the function.
      • Return the values to the main function.
  • Declare a main function. Inside the main function,
    • Get the starting odometer reading from the user.
    • Call the function “MPG”.
    • Calculate the total MPG.
    • Display the result.
  • Call the main function.
