Thread: heeeeelp!

Code:

sequential Update()
     //  I: input,   C: correct,   D: delete

getNextTrans();
getNextMaster();
while (masterKey ≠ EOF and transKey ≠ EOF) do {
     if(masterKey < transKey) then {
          output master record to new master;
          getNextMaster();
     } else {    // if masterKey >= transKey
          if ( masterKey = transKey) then {
               case {
                    code = 'I':
                         print "error: duplicate record key";
                         getNextTrans();
                    code = 'C':
		 make change in master record;
		 output master record to new master;
		 getNextTrans();
		 getNextMaster();
                    code = 'D':
		 getNextMaster();
		 getNextTrans();
		 else:
                              print 'error: invalid update code';
                              getNextTrans();
                    }     // end case
               } else {     // if masterKey > transKey
                         noMatch();
               }
          }
     end     // sequentialUpdate()



getNextTrans()
     if (trans is end of file)
          then transKey <- EOF
     else input transaction record;
end     //getNextTrans()

getNextMaster()
     if (master is end of file)
          then masterKey <- EOF
     else input master record;
end    //getNextMaster()
     
noMatch()
	//if masterKey > transKey
     case {
          code = 'I':
               build new record from trans record;
               output new record to new master;
               getNextTrans();
          code = 'C':
               print 'error: no matching master record for trans key;
               getNextTrans();
          code = 'D':
               print 'error: invalid update code';
               getNextTrans();
          else:
               print 'error: invalid update code';
               getNextTrans();
     }
}     //end case
end    //noMatch


can anyone describe it to me pls.

It is asking for some input and in a switch case calling different API's according to input

And your code is incomplete first of all then can't tell you exactly what it is doing

Go away, we won't do your homework (unless you have $2500 to spare (and give it to me), then I'll do it for you).

What the hell language actually uses those characters in it's syntax?

actually i copied from the book i was surprised by myself i think it's equal to =!EOF

First and foremost: How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

Second, this code doesn't look like C++. In fact I can say with some certainty that it's not C++. Take your question to the appropriate language forum.
