Pseudo Code for Number Translation Program

Description

This pseudo code outlines the logic for a program that translates user input based on a number and a chosen language (French or German). The user is guided through input validation at various stages.

Pseudo Code

START

DISPLAY "Please enter a number between 1 and 30 to translate"
USER_INPUT number

IF INPUT is not a digit THEN
    DISPLAY "Please use digits"
    WAIT for user to press any key
    RETURN to home screen
END IF

IF number < 1 OR number > 30 THEN
    DISPLAY "Please type an integer number between 1 and 30"
    WAIT for user to press any key
    RETURN to home screen
END IF

DISPLAY "Please enter a language (French or German)"
USER_INPUT language

IF language is not "French" AND language is not "German" THEN
    DISPLAY "Only French or German is allowed"
    WAIT for user to press any key
    RETURN to home screen
END IF

IF language is "French" THEN
    SET translation = translateToFrench(number)
ELSE IF language is "German" THEN
    SET translation = translateToGerman(number)
END IF

DISPLAY "The translation is " + translation
WAIT for user to press any key
RETURN to home screen

END

Key Logic Points

User Input Validation:
- Ensures that the user enters a valid digit for the number.
- Checks that the number is within the specified range (1 to 30).
- Verifies that the user enters a valid language (either French or German).
Translation Logic:
- Based on the input number and language choice, the program retrieves the corresponding translation.
User Feedback:
- Provides clear messages to guide the user, especially in case of invalid input.
- Prompts the user to return to the home screen after each interaction.
