USPOCOEEDD
A way of writing algorithms using plain English and common symbols without the rules of any specific programming language, used to plan logic before coding begins
2
DNE FI
A closing keyword in VCAA pseudocode that ends an if block; every nested construct uses end followed by its matching keyword: ______, end while, end for
3
UPTNI
A VCAA pseudocode keyword that accepts a value from the user and stores it in a named variable. Example: ______ age stores the user's entered value in the variable age
4
INRPT
A VCAA pseudocode keyword that outputs a value, variable or expression as a result. Example: ______ area displays the current value stored in the variable area
5
OGTAHRIML:
The required header keyword that names a VCAA maths pseudocode algorithm. Written as ______ followed by a descriptive name, it must appear as the first line before input or processing
6
OMD
The pseudocode operator that returns the remainder after integer division. Example: 10 ______ 3 gives 1 because 10 divided by 3 is 3 remainder 1
7
DAN
A VCAA pseudocode boolean operator that combines two conditions. The overall result is true only when BOTH conditions are true. Example: x > 0 ______ x < 10
