Thread: A simple pseudo-code

My advice is to concentrate on Problem #1 first (you're required to write pseudocode not C++!)

But I suppose you will want to have a C or C++ compiler at some point (are you sure that your course uses C++ and not C?)

In fact, I have an assignment for tomorrow to hand in and they are both asked in the assignment, in different sections. I have to write a pseudocode for what I mentioned but the C++ program is required for another part. I would thank you if you could help me how to do these two, considering with my very little knowledge!

Well, for the psuedocode write down every single step you must take to solve the problem. Like a recipe.

Perhaps Eclipse is overkill for what you need (I don't actually know if it's overkill, but I suspect). Have you tried xcode? It might be overkill as well, but it's probably easier to set up

Yeah, I found the XCode stuff on the web; I am trying it now.
But for the pseudo-code, I know how it should be but I don't know how to write it for this specific question. So far, I have written the following:

1. Prompt the user to enter a number (n)
2. Read the input (n)
3. Compute n/10 if n>9
4. Compute d = n%10
5. Display d as the last digit of the number

So, that's for the last digit and I am still left with the first digit and don't know how to compute it. Do you have any ideas?

Ok, that will give you the last (rightmost) digit.

The rest is general programming skills.

Hints:
You'll probably need a loop
Question: Can you work out how to print the last and the second last digit (e.g. given 123456 print 6 and then 5?)
