The Problem:
You have a file that contains records of vehicles; your supervisor wants a count of the
different vehicles found on the file and the percentage ratio of each.
There is a code on each record that indicates the type of vehicle, the codes are:
A = automobile
T = trucks
B = buses
M = motorcycles
O = other
The output should be a count for each type of vehicle and the percentage of the total.
Example: automobiles: 25 14%
Trucks 30 15%
Use the symbols in the handout and from the book to create a flowchart
to count and calculate the vehicle percentages.
How do I create a flow chart with NO given numbers or anything? I am so confused please help out ASAP!!

Do a barrel roll!
What kind of file is it?
I haven't done flow charts in forever so i'll just say what i'd do.
declare 5 variables (cars, trucks, busses, etc) that equal 0.
read 1st vehicle
- if A, add 1 to 'cars'
- if T, add 1 to 'trucks'
- if B, add 1 to 'busses'
etc
then read the next vehicle. keep going until there are no vehicles.
at the end you'll have 5 variables with numbers corresponding to how many there are, ex:
cars = 4
trucks = 2
busses = 1
etc
just add them up and divide for the percentage
