Bleep

looks like its your assignment so take it step by step! Have you written a program that keeps asking 1 person what flavour he/she would like?

@OP, The answer is staring right back @ u. I agree with Fayimora, you can post what you've gotten so far and the guys'll help.
Cheers.

Yes, it is my class assignment and am new to programming thus experience in Netorking and switching but am not familar with this Pseudo coding things, i just need ideas of what to do. Please give tips to help me start something

Are you supposed to write a program that performs the actual task or you are just mean to submit algorithm that can be implemented!

just to submit an algorithm in Pseudo cofe that can be implement this scenario.

Sent you an initial email: my first shot;

students = array_to_hold_students
options = array_to_hold_options
boolean done = true or false if there is a next question

questions = array_to_hold_questions,
result = map_to_hold_questions_and_their_answers

while done is_false
choose question_random_number
select a question at random using the question_random_number
Output: Print out question
Input: retrieve answer to question
save the question and answer into the map

Input: true or false(whether or not the program should re-run)

if input is true
done is_true
goto: 8
else if input is_false
Output: Bye message
exit program

There is a lot i havent considered but am just giving you this so you can start doing something yourself. Would post another version in bout 10 minutes. also, you can make it more ~'pseudo-codeish'

Here is another version:

students = array_to_hold_students
options = array_to_hold_types_of_iceream_available
boolean done = true or false if there is a next question

questions = array_to_hold_questions,
result = map_to_hold_questions_and_their_answers

while done is_false
choose question_random_number
select a question at random using the question_random_number

Output: Print out question

generate student_random_number
select a student at random using student_random_number

Input: retrieve answer to question
boolean valid = validate_input(answer)

if valid is_true
save the question and answer into the map

Input: true or false(whether or not the program should re-run)

if input is true
done is_true
goto: 8
else if input is_false
Output: Bye message
exit program


function boolean validate_input(answer)
for each option
if answer is an option
return true

return false

Here is something else:

students = array_to_hold_students
options = array_to_hold_types_of_iceream_available
boolean done = true or false if there is a next question
constant MAX = number_of_times_questions_would_be_asked
questions = array_to_hold_questions,
result = map_to_hold_questions_and_their_answers
Integer counter =0;

chances -> generate random number between 1 and MAX

while counter is not equals to chances
choose question_random_number
select a question at random using the question_random_number

Output: Print out question

generate student_random_number
select a student at random using student_random_number

Input: retrieve answer to question
boolean valid = validate_input(answer)

if valid is_true
save the question and answer into the map
else
Output: error message

goto: 11
counter = counter + 1

end while

Output: result
Output: Bye message
exit program


function boolean validate_input(answer)
for each option
if answer is an option
return true
end for
return false
end validate_input

Ok i think am getting tired of this thing! Anyways you can edit as you like. By now i assume you already get whats happening. Also be careful with the indentation as its matters, a lot.

OK Removed

I think you replied to the wrong topic!
