Need help creating pseudocode for the following. Registration workers at a conference for authors of children's books have collected data about conference participants, including the number of books each author has written and the target age of their readers. The participants have written from 1 to 40 books each, and target reader ages range from 0 to 16. Design a program that continuously accepts the number of books written until a sentinel value is entered, and then displays a list of how many participants have written each number of books (1 to 40).

Question

Need help creating pseudocode for the following. Registration workers at a conference for authors of children's books have collected data about conference participants, including the number of books each author has written and the target age of their readers. The participants have written from 1 to 40 books each, and target reader ages range from 0 to 16. Design a program that continuously accepts the number of books written until a sentinel value is entered, and then displays a list of how many participants have written each number of books (1 to 40).

Answer 2

To create a pseudocode for the given problem, you can follow these steps:

1. Initialize an array or a list "booksWritten" with a size of 41 (0 to 40) to hold the count of participants who have written a specific number of books.
2. Initialize a variable "input" to store the user input for the number of books.
3. Create a loop that continues until a sentinel value is entered by the user.
4. Prompt the user to enter the number of books written by the next participant.
5. Read and store the user input in the "input" variable.
6. Add 1 to the element at the index "input" of the "booksWritten" array to increment the count of participants who have written that many books.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until the sentinel value is entered.
8. Display the count of participants who have written each number of books from 1 to 40.
9. End the program.

Here is the pseudocode representation of the program:

```
Initialize an array or list "booksWritten" with size 41

Set sentinelValue as false

While sentinelValue is false:
Read input from the user for the number of books
If input is the sentinel value:
Set sentinelValue as true
Else:
Increment the value at booksWritten[input] by 1

For i from 1 to 40:
Display "Number of participants with", i, "books:", booksWritten[i]

End program
```

Note: In the pseudocode, the sentinel value refers to a special value that, when entered by the user, indicates the end of the input. In this case, the sentinel value is not specified, so you would need to define a specific value that participants should enter to stop accepting the number of books.
