Question 4

The variable table, Table 2, and the Structured English algorithm describes a simplified version of the Guess the Word/Phrase Game.

Table 2

Identifier	Data Type	Purpose
NewWord	String	Stores the setter’s word to be guessed
UserWordGuess	String	Stores a word that is the user’s guess

Algorithm

   OUTPUT "The new word?"

   INPUT NewWord

   OUTPUT "Your guess?"

   INPUT UserWordGuess

   IF UserWordGuess IS EQUAL TO NewWord

       THEN OUTPUT "CORRECT"

       ELSE OUTPUT "INCORRECT"

   ENDIF

What you need to do

1. Write a program for the above algorithm in the programming language of your choice.
2. Test the program as follows:

Test 1: Input of the new word EAGLE followed by a correct guess.

Test 2: Input of the new word BEAR followed by an incorrect guess.
