The algorithm, represented using pseudo-code, in Figure 2 outputs a numeric result. The numeric result depends upon the value entered by the user.

Figure 2

OUTPUT "Enter a positive whole number: "
INPUT NumberIn
NumberOut ← 0
Count ← 0
WHILE NumberIn > 0
   Count ← Count + 1
   PartValue ← NumberIn MOD 2
   NumberIn ← NumberIn DIV 2
   FOR i ← 1 TO Count – 1
      PartValue ← PartValue * 10
   ENDFOR
   NumberOut ← NumberOut + PartValue
ENDWHILE
OUTPUT "The result is: " NumberOut
