Pseudocode? I have a problem doing this problem.?

[ptr1988]

You are the owner of a vegetarian pizzeria and you want to write a program to allow the customer to order only ONE pizza online. You will prompt the customer for his/her name, pizza size being order (small, medium, or large), and pizza type being ordered (veggie or cheese), and then input this data. You are to output the customer name, pizza size, pizza type, and cost of pizza back to the customer. For a veggie pizza, small costs $10, medium costs $12.25, and large costs $14.50. For a cheese pizza, small costs $7, medium costs $8, and large costs $9. Be sure to validate the size and type of pizza, and if the data is invalid, output an appropriate message to the customer.

I don't understand how to write this as a pseudocode. This is not my homework. This is an extra problem I'm trying to do on my own to understand how to do other kind of pesudocode's problems.

pseudocode isn't really code, so its really just laying out the problem


Prompt customer for name, size of pizza, type of pizza
If pizza = veggie then
if pizza = large then price = blah
if pizza = med then price = blah

etc etc

Never got much into psuedocode much during my college days even though they tried to teach it. Why? Never liked the idea of "half" writing it it English when I could be writing acutal code...waste of time when you're busy enough already in college.

Now, flowcharts were my thing But that's just me because I'm a visual-type of person and it really helped we work out program flow before putting fingers to keyboard. Sometimes I would flowchart entire programs in general or specific portions of a program in detail as needed. Worked for me...

Set Size1=small
Set Size2= medium
Set Size3 = Large
Set type1 = Veggie
Set type2= Cheese
Set prices1t1=
set prices2t1=
Set prices3t1=
(and so on)
Receives Name from User
Prints Size1, Size2, Size3
Receives Size from User
Prints Type1, Type2
Receives Type from User
Print Name, Size#, Type#, Sum


This is very very generic, but pseudo code and all.

If you are the only programmer, my suggestion is not to try to force your problem into pseudo code, but instead just to write it down in your way.
Pseudo code can be nice though if you are several programmers in the same project. But even then, words and flow charts have worked better for me.

Ok, I'm going to do this as a one-time favor and since it's kind of old.

Ask customer for name
Ask customer for pizza size (S)mall, (M)eduim or (Large)
If pizza size not equal S or M or L
tell customer to order Small Medium or Large

Ask customer for pizza type (V)eggie or (C)heese
If pizza type not equal V or C
tell customer to select Veggie or Cheese

If pizza type = Cheese
If pizza size = large
pizza cost = 9.00
tell customer cost
If pizza size = medium
blah, blah, blah

"Thank you for your order" name
"You ordered one " pizza size pizza type
"Your bill is " pizza cost

i need a pseudocode for a list of employees and salaries and determine the mean (average) salary as well as the number of salaries above and below the mean

have you even given in a shot? As this seems like the type of thing that must be a homework assignment I wouldn't expect to get complete answers. Look at root's post right above yours for a good example of pseudocode.
