    A programmer needs to write a function that takes a user's age as a parameter and returns whether they are old enough to drink alcohol (18 or over). The proposed pseudocode algorithm declares a function that takes an age parameter x, compares it to 18, assigns the return value "Yes" if greater than or equal to 18 or "No" if less than 18, and returns the answer. It then calls the function, passes in an age variable, assigns the return value to a result variable, and prints the result.

    ALGORITHM A DAY May 5th

    Question Answer

    A programmer has been asked to write a function which will receive


    the age of a user and decide if they are old enough to be served a
    drink (18 or over), returning the result of the decision (yes/no) back to
    the main program for outputting.

    Write a subroutine, in pseudocode, which shows the logic of the


    problem above.

    ALGORITHM A DAY May 5th

    Question Answer

    A programmer has been asked to write a function which will receive ***There are always different ways to solve a problem. This algorithm is
    the age of a user and decide if they are old enough to be served a just an example. What is important is that the logic is correct!***
    drink (18 or over), returning the result of the decision (yes/no) back to
    the main program for outputting. LOGIC:

    Write a subroutine, in pseudocode, which shows the logic of the •Declare a function with a parameter
    problem above. •If the parameter value is equal or greater than 18 assign variable
    with string “Yes”
    •Else assign variable with string “No”
    •Return the value of the variable back to the main program
    •Call the function passing an age as an argument, ensuring the
    function is assigned to a variable which will receive the returned
    value.
    •Output the returned value.

    EXAMPLE ALGORITHM:

    function oldEnough(x)
    if x >= 18
    answer = “Yes”
    else
    answer = “No”
    endif
    return answer

    result = oldEnough(age)
    print(result)
