Task 1:
Algorithm:
The algorithm describes the logic to solve a program [1]. The algorithm for the task 1 is shown below:
Step 1: Start the program
Step2: Print a welcome message
Step3: print menu system with “s/f/q” choice. ‘s' for the select floor, ‘f' for select fire alarm and ‘q' for quit
the system[3].
Step 4: Ask user to enter a choice
4.1 If user select choice‘s’ then ask user to enter the floor number
4.1.1. if floor number <1 and floor number >100 then print an error message
4.1.2 A. if current floor number is less than previously enter floor number then
Take lift in down direct up to entered floor number
B. else take lift in upward direction up to entered floor number
4.2. if user select choice ’f’ then
4.2.1 check lift is on which floor if it is not on the ground floor then take the lift down to the ground
floor and print a dangerous message.
4.2.2. else print a dangerous message.
4.3 if user select ‘q’ choice then exit the system.
Step 5: end the program

Task 2
Algorithm:
Step1: start the program
Step 2: print N I M game welcome message
Step3: Ask user to enter the number of starting stones
3.1. if stones< 1 print error message and go to step 3
Step4: (A) Ask user whether he wants to go first or not
4.1.1. if yes ask the user to enter how many stones he wants to remove 1 or 2
4.1.1.1. if choice=1 remove one stone
4.1.1.2 if choice=2 remove 2 stones
a. if remaining stone < 0 generate an error message and add 2 stones that were
removed.
b. else repeat 4.1.1
4.1.2. print number of stones left.
4.1.2.1. if stones==0 print “computer wins” message
4.1.3. ask the user whether he wants to play again or not
a. if yes go to step 3
b. exit the system
(B) 4.1.1. Calculate remainder by dividing number of stones by 3
a. if remain ==0 remove 2 stones and print a message that shows “The computer removes 2
stones”
b. else removes 1 stones and print a message that shows “The computer removes 1 stones”
4.1.2. Print number of stones left.
a. if stones==0 print computer wins message
Ask user whether he wants to play again or not if yes go to step 3 else exit the system.
Step 5: END the program
