Use built-in functions and library routines Any functions not given in the pseudocode guide will be provided String manipulation functions will always be given 11.2 Constructs Use pseudocode to write: • an ‘IF’ statement including the ‘ELSE’ clause and nested IF statements • a ‘CASE’ structure • a ‘count-controlled’ loop: • a ‘post-condition’ loop • a ‘pre-condition’ loop Justify why one loop structure may be better suited to solve a problem than the others **11.3 Structured Programming ** Define and use a procedure Explain where in the construction of an algorithm it would be appropriate to use a procedure. Use parameters: A procedure may have none, one or more parameters and A parameter can be passed by reference or by value. Define and use a function Explain where in the construction of an algorithm it is appropriate to use a function. A function is used in an expression, e.g. the return value replaces the call.
