Assignment, asking for help
 

I would like to know if I'm getting close to writing the pseudocode for the assignment below. Any help would be greatly Appreciated.



Assignment:
Use both a selection structure and a repetition structure.

Write the pseudocode

Your company wants a list of each employee who worked overtime during the previous pay period. You should read the name, employee ID number and hours worked from a file. Select and print the records that have hours greater than 40.


My Pseudocode:

I'm not a Pseudo code expert but i think you need to put more detail in there. I don't see where you opened the file and closed it.

i think your also supposed to indent it like you would the program but not postive.

I always thought psuedo-code was pointless, i just turned in classic BASIC and my teacher didn't mind...

Thank you for responding to my post. I understand what you are saying, I"m not sure where to position and show the files being opened and then closed. This is what I have come up with so far.

Start

Open files read empRecord

Get employeeRecord

Print employeeRecord

Get First employeeName

Print First employeeName

while NOT eof

if hoursWorked > 40

during previous pay period

Print empRecord
Close files

else

get next employeeName

endif

endwhile

Read empRecord

empName empIdNo hoursWorked

Print empName empIdNo hoursWorked


Stop

Thank you for your reply. I had my pseudocode indented in my MS word program but when I copied in into my post it removed the pseudocode format I had. Any ideas on how to get it back would be appreciated.

This class starts out with learning to pseudocode, and I do not have any experience in programing so I wouldn't now how to write the code. I beleive after this class tomorrow it will be my 5th class and then we will start using the Microsoft Visual Basic .Net RELOADED by Diane Zak.
Thank you for your response.

In line 3 why do you print the Employee list?
In line 8 What does this mean and why is it there?
I would change to add to employeeRecords.

Don't use MS-Word to program it adds unecessary BS to the file.
Get Vi or Emacs, hell even notepad is better than word.

NotePad 2 might be worth looking into.

or notepad.. it's fine for small programs, or parts of a big program when you're at school ;)
