How do I properly fill in and create a While Loop Flowchart and Pseudo code for this? I also need to perform 3 desk checks, details below...

Question

"Farmer Pete’s pigs and sheep are all intermingled. He wants to be able to determine how many pigs and sheep he has by just walking out and counting them one at a time. He also needs to know what percentage of pigs he has with respect to his overall livestock."

DESK CHECK #1 The pseudocode: Farmer Pete enters the following data: PPSSPPX

DESK CHECK #2 The flowchart: Farmer Pete enters the following data: SSSPPSPPSSX

DESK CHECK #3 the flowchart: Farmer Pete enters the following data: X

*I have already determined my LVC as animalType, my sentinel as 'X', and my condition as animalType != 'X'

PLEASE HELP ASAP IM SO LOST

There are many methods of creating Pseudo code, which is basically a algorithm that you mentally test to see if your programming logic has any flaws. Different teachers have different standards for what they want for Pseudo code. for a while loop it depends on whether you test the condition at the beginning or end of the loop. This is what I came up with:comment initilize variables

pig count = 0

sheep count = 0

animal count = 0

Do While animal not equal zero

Catch animal

if not caught before then

Animal count = animal count + 1

If pig then pig count = pig count + 1

else sheep count = sheep count + 1

end if

End if

loop

output %pigs = ( pig count/(pig count + sheep count)) *100

output %sheep = ( sheep count/(pig count + sheep count)) *100

It is by no means the only Pseudo code that would meet the criteria.
