Pseudocode Practice
Write codes that fulfill the following requirements:
Difficulty Level: Easy
1. Ask the user for a name. After that, OUTPUT “Hello, (the name where the user has typed
in).
INPUT Name
OUTPUT “Hello “ + Name
2. Create a variable call MEALCOST. Assign a value of 10 to it.
Then, create another variable call MEALSELLINGPRICE, which is twice the value of
MEALCOST.
Then, create another variable call TAX, which is 6% of the MEALSELLINGPRICE.
Lastly, create a variable call TOTALPRICE, which is the sum of MEALSELLINGPRICE and TAX.
MEALCOST <- 10
MEALSELLINGPRICE <- 2 * MEALCOST
TAX <- MEALSELLINGPRICE * 0.06
TOTALPRICE <- MEALSELLINGPRICE + TAX

3. DECLARE a dynamic array, named it as Y10CLASS, which will be used to contain a list of
names.
DECLARE Y10Class : ARRAY[1:] OF STRING
4. Design a program that asks a user to INPUT two numbers. The program will multiply the
numbers together (hint: you need to create a variable that stores the product). If the
product is larger than 100 it outputs the message “Greater than 100”. If not, it does nothing.
INPUT N1
INPUT N2
Product <- N1 * N2
IF Product > 100
THEN
OUTPUT “Greater than 100”

Difficulty Level: Hard
5. Fries are sold in the canteen at $3 each, if 10 fries are bought then the discount is
5%, if 20 fries are bought the discount is 15%. No more than 30 fries can be bought
in a single transaction (hint: A while loop can be used for validation (eg. Fries
number cannot be less than 1 or more than 30).
(Do not use CASE OF, use IF ... ELSE ... THEN instead)
You are asked to design a program that can automatically calculate the cost of the
purchase. Print out the cost. The program will keep repeating until a user INPUT a
value "stop". Write the pseudocode for this program.
WHILE Continue <> “STOP” DO
WHILE NumberOfFries < 1 OR NumberOfFries > 30 DO
INPUT NumberOfFries
IF NumberOfFries > 10
THEN
IF NumberOfFries > 20
THEN
Discount <- 0.15
ELSE
Discount <- 0.05
ENDIF
ELSE
Discount <- 0
ENDIF
TOTALFRIESPRICE <- NumberOfFries * 3 * (1 – Discount)
OUTPUT TOTALFRIESPRICE
INPUT Continue

Pseudocode Practice
Standard methods of solution
1. Totaling
StudentMark [1:10]
70 75 80 60 70 65 75 90 95 100
Write the pseudocode to find the total mark:
Total <- 0
ClassSize <- 10
FOR Counter <- 0 TO 10
Total <- Total + StudentMark[Counter]
NEXT
2. Counting
StudentMark [1:10]
70 75 80 60 70 65 75 90 95 100
Write the pseudocode to find the number of students who pass (mark > 50) the exam.
PassCount <- 0
ClassSize <- 10
FOR Counter <- 0 TO 10
IF StudentMark[Counter] > 50
THEN
PassCount <- PassCount + 1
NEXT
