Question

Write an algorithm, using pseudo code, to perform one of the following tasks.
“Consensus algorithm”: A group of ten people need to decide which one flavor of ice cream they will all order, out of three options. The algorithm can question and re-question the participants, and present the answers to the participants, until a consensus is reached. This exercise is somewhat more open-ended. Add your assumptions if necessary. Obviously, this algorithm might never result in an answer. Deal with that too

Explanation / Answer

Step1: Initialize N=1

Step2: While (N<=10)

        2.1 Ask N persons which ice cream flavor you want

        2.2 Read flavor

        2.3 If flavor is available

        2.4           Place order per person n+1

        2.5          N=N+1

        2.6 Else if flavor is not available

        2.7            Your flavor is not available

        2.8            Please select another flavor

        2.9           goto   Step 2.1

        2.10     Else

        2.11           No order place

        2.12           N=N+1

Step 3: Stop
