Flow Charts and Pseudo Code
- 2. Learning outcomes By the end of today’s lesson; • All of you will understand the purpose of pseudo code and flow charts (D-E) • Most of you will be able to write some clear pseudo code and be able to translate others work (B-C) • Some of you will add complicated functions into their pseudo code to make it complete advanced skills (A*-A)
- 3. Flow charts How do you make a cup of tea? Is it anything like this?
- 4. Your turn Create a flow chart for how you would make a cup of tea or coffee using only these symbols?
- 5. PSEUDO CODE What is pseudo code? This is when you write you ideas for a program in plain English to give you a good idea of how to structure your coding.
- 6. PSEUDO CODE If student's grade is greater than or equal to 60 Print "passed" else Print "failed" Begin one's move. Throw the dice. Move the number of spaces on the board shown on the dice. If the token landed on "Go to Jail," then go there immediately. Else if the token landed on "Chance" or "Community Chest," then draw a card and follow its instructions. Else follow the usual rules for the square (buying property, paying rent, collecting $200 for passing "Go", etc.). End one's move.
- 7. Pseudo Code How do we write it? We literally write the step by step guide of what is in our heads. If there is ever a ‘decision’ to be made then this is done like this; Leave the house While not at station Walk towards station End While train is not at station Wait for train End Get on train
