Question

Use the algorithmic design stage of computational thinking to design a program. Remember that algorithmic design is where you create step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. This must begin with pseudocode, then be translated to Python using your pseudocode as a guide. Write your pseudocode where indicated below. Your pseudocode should be written in English (not Python), indicate a conversation about improving the world, and must:

1.  be written in a series of steps that reflect algorithmic design
2.  include at least three interactive prompts
3.  assign user input to variables to be used throughout the program. (For example, this could be their name or age.)
4.  print a tip on the importance of your selected topic

Example of expected output: The output for your program should resemble the following screenshot. Your specific results will vary depending on the choices you make about the conversation and the input provided.

Answer 1

Pseudocode:

1. Display("Welcome to the World Improvement Program!")

2. Prompt user for their name:

Input name

3. Display("Hello, [name]! Let's talk about improving the world.")

4. Prompt user for their idea to make the world a better place:

Input idea

5. Display("Thank you for sharing your idea, [name]!")

6. Prompt user for their age:

Input age

7. Display("Great! Now, let's provide a tip on the importance of [idea].")

8. Display("Tip: [name], your idea to [idea] can inspire positive change.")

9. Display("By sharing ideas and working together, we can create a better world!")

10. Display("Thank you for participating in the World Improvement Program, [name]!")

Python Code:

# Welcome to the World Improvement Program!

print("Welcome to the World Improvement Program!")

# Prompt user for their name

name = input("Enter your name: ")

# Greet the user

print(f"Hello, {name}! Let's talk about improving the world.")

# Prompt user for their idea to make the world a better place

idea = input("Share your idea to make the world better: ")

# Thank the user for sharing their idea

print(f"Thank you for sharing your idea, {name}!")

# Prompt user for their age

age = input("How old are you? ")

# Provide a tip on the importance of the idea

print(f"Tip: {name}, your idea to {idea} can inspire positive change.")

# Display a message about working together for a better world

print("By sharing ideas and working together, we can create a better world!")

# Farewell message

print(f"Thank you for participating in the World Improvement Program, {name}!")
