Overview
The Geometric Mean of n numbers is defined as the nth root of the product of the numbers. Mathematically, we can write the equation as:
GM =
Alternatively,
GM =
Calculation
Let’s calculate the GM by hand before modelling the flowchart.
Say the numbers are:
n= 5
GM =
GM =
=
Flowchart
We will model a Raptor flowchart to compute the GM of n numbers. The numbers are taken as input from the user.
Steps:
Prompt the user to enter n
In a loop, prompt the user to enter the numbers.
Calculate the product of the numbers.
Compute the GM and output the result.
Sample Output
To verify the flowchart output, we can run the flowchart and input numbers. Additionally, we can verify the computation on computational engine like WolframAlpha.
