Im having trouble expressing alorithms in pseudocode and i was wondering if somebody can show me what this flowchart would look like in pseudocode. I'm not even sure if my flow chart is correct so if u see comething wrong in my flowchart (like something that i have written which is wrong) then it would be greatly appreciatd. BTW this is for my major project, i'm creating a media player like winamp.

BEGIN frmSplash

IF Clicked = True THEN

LOAD frmMedia
LOAD frmEquilizer
LOAD frmPlaylist

ELSE

WAIT

END IF

END frmSplash


i have no idea what you're trying to do at WAIT.

lol i dunno what to put there thats why
if they dont click on the button then the user will have wait for a few seconds and the forms will load

lol you're not making much sense, i gtg work now so i'll help you later...

ok so that was the splash screen right, if they click on the button then they wouldn't have to wait until the splash screen closes. if they don't click on the button then they gotta wait for the forms to load.

what could i put instead of "wait"?

hey im not supposed to put wait there am i? or atleast it shouldn't be a process box

*EDIT* hey now i get what ur going on about, i put those extra lines there for no reason.... LOL silly me, i changed the pic

 

[Wild Dan Hibiki]

heres the flow chart, i hope it makes more sense now

If you're doing it like that, why don't you just leave it as a button and get the button to load the forms...

If its VB, its event driven, so use the buttons rather than using a timer to wait and re-ask a question...

the best method in doing splash screens, well in what i do is... make your class as the main startup object, and then slap your splash screen code into your constructor, and then put any other form instantiation calls into the constructor.

i did do that

but the pseudo code doesnt matter anymore cause i realized that doin a flowchart is the same as doin the pseudo code, so it only caounts as one analysis tool

It's one form of documentation, i'd prefer psuedocode, getting use to psuedocode is better, as it's heavily tested in the exam.

I'd agree with Winston, but also pseudocode is structured the same as programming languages are... so if you want to do anything with programming later

Sort of structured the same, i'd say the most replica of all languages which has pretty much the same keywords etc as psuedocode would be Turbo Pascal.

...and no one wants to program in that.

But basically its the same structure, so if you think the idea of structuring your program is stupid, and writing sub-programs is silly, then don't program =\
