Question

 String s = ""; 

    myf = new Finch();
    do
    {
        //Run the menu until quit or cancel is selected
        s = FinchMenu();
        //menu 1
        if (s.equals("Back and forward")) RunAccelerationTest(s);
    }

How would you convert something like this to pseudocode? For instance

String s = "";

Would the pseudocode for it be something like this?

Set s to ""

That just seems wrong to me.

Any help please? Thanks

Pseudocode, i think, doesn’t have a predefined syntax. just follow two rules:

• It should be plain english with common programming constructs.

• It should be generic, not specific to any language.

Following should fit:

Step 1: Initialize an empty string. (say str)

Step 2: Construct a new 'Finch' object.

Step 3: BEGIN LOOP

            Fetch 'FinchMenu' from 'Finch' object.

            assign 'FinchMenu' to 'str'

            IF 'FinchMenu' is "Back and forward"

                Call 'RunAccelerationTest' method with 'str' as argument.

            END IF

        END LOOP
