Write an Algorithm in Pseudocode

Question

Write an algorithm that, given a sequence of characters, allows you to find the number of words that begin with letter "A"

Answer 1

The assumption is that a 'word' is a contiguous series of upper and lowercase characters. Anything else is a divider between words.

wordCount = 0

isWord = false

index = 0 if language 0-based, 1 if not

while index < character count (- 1 if 0-based)

if characters(index) is not an upper or lowercase character

isWord = false

else

if not isWord

isWord = true

wordCount++

index++

end while
