Pseudocode Algorithm with Counter-Controlled Repetition

Let’s use pseudocode to list the actions to execute and specify the order in which they should execute. We use counter-controlled repetition to input the grades one at a time. This technique uses a variable called a counter (or control variable) to control the number of times a set of statements will execute. In this example, repetition terminates when the counter exceeds 10. This section presents a fully developed pseudocode algorithm (Fig. C.1) and a version of class GradeBook (Fig. C.2) that implements the algorithm in a Java method. We then present an application (Fig. C.3) that demonstrates the algorithm in action.
