    This document provides information about while loops, including: - While loops are condition-controlled loops that repeat actions while a condition is true. They are used when the number of iterations is unknown. - The structure of a while loop includes initializing a condition variable, a while statement checking the condition, and the actions to perform if true. - Two examples are provided to demonstrate while loops in pseudocode and flowcharts: 1) a password validation loop and 2) a math quiz loop that repeats until the correct answer is given. - As a homework, students are asked to write a pseudocode and flowchart for a loop that calculates average scores for multiple students until a terminating value of 9 is reached

    Objective: Students will be able

    to demonstrate While - loops

    WHILE LOOPS using Pseudocode and


    Flowcharts
    OBJECTIVES
    State the purpose of looping constructs
    Name the two categories of loops(Definite and indefinite)
    IdentifyWHILE Loops as an example of indefinite loop
    Write the syntax for a WHILE loop
    Explain the operation of a WHILE loop construct
    Deduce questions for the application of WHILE
    Use a WHILE loop construct to solve a simple problem
    CONDITION-CONTROLLED LOOP
    A while loop is controlled by a condition
    We use this type of loop when we want a condition to be
    repeated (iterated) until a particular goal is achieved or until
    the process has to stop.
    In a while loop, the action will repeat WHILE a condition is true
    If the test is false, then there will be no more iterations
    P.S If the test is false at the start of the process, there will be
    no iterations at all. Thus, in certain conditions, the actions inside
    the loop will not be repeated, even once.
    STRUCTURE OF WHILE-LOOP
    Initial value for condition (this can be stored in a variable that is read or it can be
    assigned)

    WHILE (Logical test/Condition) DO


    Actions if true
    ENDWHILE
    QUESTION 1
    Create algorithm (pseudocode and flowchart)
    to ask a student to input a password
    If the password is not equal to ‘Sesame’ output
    ‘ Wrong password, try again’ else output
    ‘correct password’
    PSEUDOCODE
    Start
    Declare password as string
    Read password
    While password <> ‘Sesame’ Do
    Print “wrong password, try again”
    Read password
    Endwhile
    Print “correct password”
    Stop
    PASCAL
    Program Pass_word;
    VAR
    password : string
    BEGIN
    Writeln(‘To have the user enter the correct password’);
    Writeln(‘ Please enter your password’);
    Readln( password);
    While password <> ‘Sesame’ Do
    BEGIN
    Writeln(‘wrong password, try again’)
    Writeln(‘Enter your password);
    Readln(password);
    End;
    Writeln(‘correct password’);
    END.

    QUESTION 2
    A teacher wants to write a computer program to test
    knowledge of Mathematics. Create algorithm (pseudocode and
    flowchart) that sets out the following sequence of instructions.
    Output what is 56+98?
    Input an answer
    If the correct answer is inputted, say “Yes, well done and stop”.
    Otherwise,’ “No, try again” and repeat the action.
    PSEUDOCODE
    Start
    Declare answer, ans_wer as integer
    Print “Please enter your answer”
    read answer
    Ans_wer= 98 + 56
    While ans_wer <> answer
    Print “ No, try again”
    Read answer
    Endwhile
    Output ‘Yes, Well done’
    Stop
    QUESTION 3 - HOMEWORK
    Write algorithm (pseudocode and flowchart) to
    calculate and print the average of 3 scores for a
    number of students terminated by 9.
    PLEASE NOTE
    Example a bank will pay out money to a customer until his account is empty. We do
    not know how many times he can withdraw money but we know when it will stop.
    This means that when you are using a WHILE loop
    If the test is true, the loop will continue
