Pseudocode: Confusing syntax "<>" and "variable:2:6"
I am currently studying pseudo code, and despite my 3 year history in programming, this 1 particular practice-exam question has me perplexed with its unconventional code (shown below):
Highlighted in Pink, are my 2 main problems with the code. I have experience across 3 languages, yet I have never encountered the control flow method <>, and cannot imagine exactly what it would be used for. In addition to this, the variable average appears in the code in the form of "average:6:2", for which I am equally clueless.
To Summarise:
- What is the function of the control flow method "<>"
- As is stated in question (a) in the image above, what is the purpose of 'average:6:2'?
Solution
<>is common fornot equalWhile number is not equal to 999number:filed_width:precisionis pascal formatter for real number withfiled_widthbeing the space for field andprecisionis numer of digits after dot. so3.141519:4:1will print<space>3.1
