24 using a loop approach? Verify your result by a trace table.

Flowchart:

START

Base =2
Power =4

Product = Base
Counter = 1

is N
Counter < Power

Y Print
Product = Product * Base

Example 4-5: Draw a flowchart to find all the roots of a quadratic

equation ax2+bx+c=0.

Solution:

Start

Input the
variables a,b,c

Calculate the discriminant

D=b^2 - 4a*c

Is
D≥ 0

real=(-b)/(2*a) root1=(-b+√D)/(2*a)
imag=(√-D)/(2*a) root2=(-b-√D)/(2*a)

root1=real+j*imag
root2=real-j*imag

print
root1, root2
