Question

19. Write the proper pseudo-code for (1pts) 'If on a gem OR on a switch: dance'? (Note: Abide by correct pseudo-code format using statement keywords, brackets, parentheses, indentation, line breaks.)

Answer 1

The pseudo-code to determine if an action should occur when on a gem or switch uses an IF statement with an OR condition, followed by the action and ends with an END IF.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the pseudo-code for the condition where an action is triggered if the subject is on a gem OR on a switch, you can use the following structure:

IF onGem() OR onSwitch() THEN
dance()
END IF

This pseudo-code employs the standard control structure for conditional statements. The IF keyword introduces the condition, and it checks whether the subject is on a gem or a switch. If either condition is true, the 'dance' action is executed. The OR operator is used to specify that either of the conditions can be true for the action to take place. Note that the specific functions onGem() and onSwitch() would need to be defined in the actual code to evaluate whether the subject is on a gem or a switch, respectively.
