Pseudo code guide

Inputs and Outputs

• If the user has to input something you write INPUT and then the variable
• If the program has to output something then you write OUTPUT followed by what you are outputting in speech marks.

Selection

• For IF statements
• You write IF followed by the desired condition and then a THEN (instead of a colon). You can then write what happens next, making sure that it is on the line below and indented.
• You can use ELIF for any following conditions.
• Next you write ELSE followed by what happens next, making sure that it is on the next line and indented.
• Finish the IF statement by writing ENDIF at the bottom of the statement.

Iteration

• For iteration:
• For a loop, you simply write REPEAT at the top of the code you want to repeat and then at the bottom of this code you write UNTIL followed by the condition.
• Make sure that the code you are looping is indented.

Example

• REPEAT
• OUTPUT "Please enter a parcel number"
• INPUT parcel number
• IF parcel number has eight characters THEN
• OUTPUT "valid parcel number"
• ELSE
• OUTPUT "Invalid parcel number"
• ENDIF
• UNTIL parcel number has eight characters

Functions

• It is similar to python. At the top of your function write FUNCTION (then your function name).
• To jump to this function you just write the function name followed by ().
