functions in pseudocode

Avuya Mxoli

I am still working on the ISBN project and now I want to split my pseudocde into functions and or procedures... I will just identuify for you the things that I thought needed to be in functions of their own coz i had done everything on main... I have to validate the ISBN( i already posted that part of the pseudocode) then I need to Convert the ISBN10 to ISBN13(that was the last part we worked on) but I feel as much as I included the odd and even number checking in the whole converting "function" that there shud b a seperate function that will determine if a digit is even or odd...then I need to have a function that adds a hyphen on the ISBN 13...I should then call all these functions on main.
You dont have to do all of them though I just need an idea of what is expected from me. Your help will b appreciated, Thanks.

To give you an idea, I'll just do the 'check if even' function for you in pseudo-code:

BOOLEAN FUNCTION IsEven (INTEGER number)

   IF number divides exactly by two THEN RETURN True
   RETURN False

END FUNCTION

That will then slot into the pseudo-code in your other thread as follows:

FOR index = 1 TO 10

   item = items[index]
   CONVERT item string to integer
   STORE integer in 'digit'
   IF IsEven(index - 1)
   ADD digit to evenTotal
   ELSE
   ADD digit to oddTotal

NEXT index

i'm so sorry Sam, I really want pseudocode though because this project asked for that but im sorry you feel that I'm confusing ppl.

By definition of what pseudocde is, you can write it however you want to. The pseudocde should be meaningful for you so someone else's pseudocde might be wrong.

Based on your previous thread, you don't want pseudocde; you want real code. Please be clear about what you really want.
