i) Counting Variable – this variable is for tracking the number of values entered. Let it be initialized as: Count = 0
ii) Sum Variable – this is the variable on which the sum values are stored. Let it be initialized as: Sum = 0
Step 2: Reading of values. Let a value be represented by letter “X”
Step 3: Computing the sum; this process is represented as:
Sum = Sum + X
Step 4: Updating the counting variable; this is represented as:
Count = Count + 1
Step 5: Decision Point i.e. establishing whether the Count value is equal to 35
i) If NO, then go back to step 2 to read the next number
ii) If YES, go to step 6
Step 6: Output the total Sum
