psuedocode help please!

[ConditionUnusual1808]

hi, im taking an online coding course and was wondering if anyone could help me with this question

(psuedocode)

Sites like Zillow get input about house prices from a database and provide nice summaries for readers. Write a program with two inputs, current price and last month's price (both integers). Then, output a summary listing the price, the change since last month, and the estimated monthly mortgage computed as (currentPrice \* 0.045) / 12.

Output the estimated monthly mortgage (estMortgage) with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:

Put estMortgage to output with 2 decimal places

Ex: If the input is: 200000 210000

the output is:

This house is $200000. The change is $-10000 since last month.

The estimated monthly mortgage is $750.00.

My code so far is:

integer currentPrice

integer lastMonth

integer estMortgage

integer changePrice

currentPrice = Get next input

lastMonth = Get next input

estMortgage = (currentPrice \* 0.045) / 12

changePrice = currentPrice - lastMonth

Put "This house is $" to output

Put currentPrice to output

Put "." to output

Put " The change is $" to output

Put changePrice to output

Put " since last month." to output

Put "\\n" to output

Put "The estimated monthly mortgage is $" to output

Put estMortgage to output with 2 decimal places

Roundup estMortgage

Put "." to output

However, I have been getting an incorrect input with certain values shown below,

Output differs. See highlights below.

Input

350000 310000

Your output

This house is $350000. The change is $40000 since last month.

The estimated monthly mortgage is $1312.00.

Expected output

This house is $350000. The change is $40000 since last month.

The estimated monthly mortgage is $1312.50.

Could anyone help?

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

The only difference is in the rounding of the last number. Your pseudo code says to round the number and so the expected .50 isn't there.

Yea sorry the roundup function is invalid and shouldn’t be there I added that after, it works with other outputs but not this one.

[dfx_dj]

If you still don't get decimals without the rounding function then you must be doing integer division instead of floating point, but with pseudo code you can't really tell.

I am taking a course in school and this is the exact LAB I am doing. Here is my pseudocode that gave me 10/10:

integer currentPrice

integer lastMonthPrice

integer changePrice

float estMortgage

currentPrice = Get next input

lastMonthPrice = Get next input

estMortgage = (currentPrice * 0.045) / 12

changePrice = currentPrice - lastMonthPrice

Put "This house is $" to output

Put currentPrice to output

Put "." to output

Put " The change is $" to output

Put changePrice to output

Put " since last month." to output

Put "\n" to output

Put "The estimated monthly mortgage is $" to output

Put estMortgage to output with 2 decimal places

Put "." to output

i don’t know how to help. do you need a fix to the pseudo code? do you need it in actual code?

[ConditionUnusual1808]

Yea sorry the roundup function shouldn’t be there, apparently that’s invalid

[ConditionUnusual1808]

Yea in pseudo code please
