Can you please tell me how to write this algorithm correctly?
Question: A company is carrying out a survey by observing the traffic at road junction. Each time a car, bus or lorry passes by the road junction it was noted down. 10 000 vehicles were counted during the survey. Write an algorithm which inputs all 10 000 responses, outputs the number of cars, buses, and lorries that passes by the junction during the survey and outputs the number of vehicles that weren't cars, buses or lorries during the survey.
Will this be correct?
Cars=0
Bus=0
Lorry=0
Other=0
For counter= 1-10 000
Input counter
If counter=cars,then car=car+1
If counter=bus, then bus=bus+1
If counter=lorry,then lorry=lorry+1
If counter=other,then other=other+1
End if
End if
End if
End if
Next counter
Output:Car, bus, lorry,other
So, is my answer correct? If not, please correct it and explain please.
