Question

how would i write my code in Pseudocode? I am pretty much a beginner, therefore this is my first major computer science assignment and im not really understanding the written way of code.. please help and explain. Thank you!

this is my working code:

# Guess The Number HW assignment
import random

guessesTaken = 0
names=[]
tries=[]
print("Welcome! ")
question = input("Would you like to play the guessing game? [Y/N]")
if question == "N":
print("Sorry to see you go so soon, bye for now!")
else:
print("..loading..")
while question!='q':
print("Well, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.")

number = random.randint(1, 20)
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
guess = 21
while guess != number and guessesTaken < 40:
print("Take a guess.")
guess = input()
while (guess.isdigit() == False):
guess = input("Guess needs to be a whole number.")
guess = int(guess)
guessesTaken = guessesTaken + 1
if guess < number:
print("Your guess is too low.")
if guess > number:
print("Your guess is too high.")

if guess == number:
print("Good job, you guessed my number! What is your name?")
name = input("Enter name:")
names.append(name)
tries.append(guessesTaken)
guessesTaken = 0
  
else:
number = str(number)
print("Nope. The number I was thinking of was " + number)
guessesTaken = 0

question = input("\nLets play again (press q to quit or enter to continue) ")
if (question == "q"):

for i in range(len(names)):
print(names[i],tries[i])
  

  

minGuess=min(tries)
ind=tries.index(minGuess)
name=names[ind]
print()
print(name,'won with the least amount of tries',minGuess)

Psuedo Code:

Begin

Set guessesTaken = 0

Set names = []

Set tries=[]

Read if user wishes to play the game (Y/N) into variable question

If question = “N”

Print goodbye message

Else

                While question != “q”

Generate a random number between 1 and 20 and store in variable number

Declare and set guess to 0

                               While guess != number and guessesTaken < 40

                                                 Read the user guess into guess varaible

                                                Repeat until guess is not a digit

                                  Print error message and read another number from user

             increment guessesTaken by 1

                                           if guess < number:

                                                                                print "Your guess is too low."

                                          if guess > number:

                                                                                print "Your guess is too high."

                                          if guess = number:

                   print "Good job, you guessed my number! What is your name?"

                                                                               Read the user name

                                           Store the name in names array

                               Store the guessTaken in tries array                                         

                               Set guessesTaken to 0

                               End While

                             If guessesTaken = 40

                                                                Print the number generated

                                                                Set guessesTaken to 0

                Read if user wishes to continue or enter q to quit into question variable

                           If question = "q"

   For i in range(len(names))

                Print all names and tries

   End For

                           Get min(tries)

                           Get name of player with minimum guessesminGuess

                           Print name who won with the least amount of tries

             End While

Stop
