Goal: To write a flowchart that corresponds to an algorithm in outline form.

Problem:

Algorithm for computing fines on a library patron's overdue books:

1. Initialize the patron's fine to be zero.
2. Return a book.
3. If the book is overdue:
   1. If the book is more than 30 days overdue:
      1. Then add to the fine a charge of $0.50 for each day the book is overdue.
      2. Else add to the fine a charge of $0.20 for each day the book is overdue.
4. If there is another book to be returned, go to step 2.
5. Print the patron's fine.

Helps:

• Make sure that you have a single entry (single begin) and a single exit (single end).
• Use the long or short form of tracing to ensure that your algorithm is complete and correct.
