CSharp to Pseudo Code

Assigning a value

'←' is to assign a value to a variable, essentially just like '=' in C#.

IF

In pseudo code an if statement has several parts, the command word 'IF' followed by a condition, followed by the word 'THEN'.

For example:

IF factorfound = FALSE THEN

The code to run for the if will be between the 'THEN' and the 'ENDIF.

C#

if (factorfound == false)
{
     .........
}

If Else

The same as above, however the code to run for the if will be between the 'THEN' and the 'ELSE'. The code between the 'ELSE' and the 'ENDIF' will be run when the condition is false.

For example:

IF factorfound = FALSE THEN
     .........
ELSE
     .........
ENDIF

The code to run for the if will be between the 'THEN' and the 'ENDIF.

C#

if (factorfound == false)
{
     .........
}
else
{
     .........
}

While Loop

The command words used in the exam questions is:

WHILE (Condition)
     ....................
ENDWHILE

Condition will be something which equates to either true or false. Some examples of the conditions are:

WHILE (root * root) < Number

or:

WHILE (factorfound = false)

So the condition is always contained within the round brackets.

C#

Remember to check if something is equal in C# is '=='.

Remember 'Greater than or Equal' or Less than or Equal' is '>=' or '<='.

while (factorfound == false)
{
     ............
}
