You have decided to start a savings account because you would like to go on holiday with a friend 
and you need to keep track of your deposits, interest paid, balance and tax liabilities. Your goal is 
to save for three months.
You have spent some time comparing various savings options to get the most growth out of your 
savings. That means the higher the interest rate, the more your money will increase. The savings 
account you have chosen offers the best interest rates which are based on a sliding scale on the 
balance of your account. 
Definition: A sliding scale is a system in which the interest rate which is paid changes because of 
other conditions. For example: 
• The more money you earn, the more tax you must pay; 
• The more money you invest in savings, the higher interest rate you will receive.
VALUE OF SAVINGS ACCOUNT BALANCE INTEREST RATE 
(per month)
Less than R2 000 2%
Greater than or equal to R2 000 but less 
than R5 000
4%
Greater than or equal to R5 000 6%
The South African Revenue Services (SARS) will deduct 25% tax of the interest paid into your 
account each month (from the profit you make every month), i.e., the interest paid to you by the 
bank.
Write the pseudocode for the following scenario. 
The input into the program will be:
• Account number (numeric)
• Amount of the deposit (numeric)
• Month (numeric)

The program must do the following:
• Ask the user to enter the account number twice and compare the two account numbers to 
each other in order to verify that the correct account is being accessed. This is to ensure 
you will make your deposit into the correct account. If the two account numbers entered 
do not match, then display an appropriate message and ask the user to re-enter the two 
account numbers again. 
• The minimum monthly deposit is R500. Check that the deposited amount is R500 or more. 
If it is less than R500, then the program must prompt you to re-enter an amount to deposit 
until you specify an amount of R500 or more.
• Use a case structure to convert the numeric month to a string month name. 
o E.g., 1 will be January and 2 will be February, etc. 
• Check the account balance against the range of values to determine the interest rate (from 
the table above).
• Calculate the interest payable and add the interest payable to your account balance.
• Calculate the tax due to SARS (25%) and deduct this from your account balance. 
• Print out a balance statement each time you make a deposit so you can keep track of your 
account balance. The balance statement must include the following information: 
o Opening Balance; 
o Deposit; 
o Interest Earned; 
o Tax due to SARS;
o Closing Balance

Welcome to Giraffe Academy!

My name is Mike and in this course, I'll be teaching you everything you need to know to get started in the C programming language. C is one of the oldest and most influential programming languages around - in fact, many modern programming languages are based off of C. So whether you're looking to get into C or want to branch out into something like C++, learning the basics of C is a great starting point.

 

What You'll Learn

In this course, we'll cover everything you need to know to get started with C programming. We'll start by talking about how to install a text editor and the C compiler. Then, we'll dive into writing some basic code and cover important concepts like:

 

Variables and data types

Conditional statements

Loops

Functions

Arrays

Pointers

By the end of this course, you'll have a strong foundation in C programming and be ready to take on more advanced topics.

 

In this tutorial, we will cover the core concepts of programming in C. We will start by discussing what a program is and how it works. Then, we will move on to more advanced topics such as if statements, loops, variables, data types, structures, and functions.

 

By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundation in C programming that you can build on. We are excited to bring you this basic course on C and we hope you enjoy the tutorials.

 

Getting Started with C Programming

In order to start programming in C, we will need two things: a text editor and an environment to write our C programs. Any text editor that allows you to write and save text in a specific file format will work. However, it can be useful to use a special environment called an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) when working with C.
