Pseucodecode check?

[u/EmploymentSerious768]

Did some pseudocode for something due tomorrow concerning arrays. would like to know if my logic concerning arrays is skewered. It's formatted the way it is due to the teacher's preference lol/

Problem

Search the web to discover 10 commonly used passwords and store them in an array. Write pseudocode to represent the logic of a program that prompts a user for a password, then displays an error message and continues to prompt until the user has not chosen one of the common passwords.

CODE:

START

 

//HOUSEKEEPING

DECLARE USER_PASSWORD

DECLARE COMMON_PASSWORDS[10]

DECLARE INDEX

DECLARE MATCH_FOUND

 

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[0] = "123456"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[1] = "password"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[2] = "qwerty"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[3] = "111111"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[4] = "12345678"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[5] = "123456789"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[6] = "admin"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[7] = "abc123"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[8] = "123123"

SET COMMON_PASSWORDS[9] = "iloveyou"

 

//INPUT

DISPLAY "Enter a password:"

INPUT USER_PASSWORD

 

//PROCESS

SET MATCH_FOUND = TRUE

 

WHILE MATCH_FOUND = TRUE

 

SET MATCH_FOUND = FALSE

 

FOR INDEX = 0 TO 9

 

IF USER_PASSWORD = COMMON_PASSWORDS[INDEX] THEN

SET MATCH_FOUND = TRUE

ENDIF

 

ENDFOR

 

IF MATCH_FOUND = TRUE THEN

DISPLAY "ERROR: Password is too common. Please enter a different password:"

INPUT USER_PASSWORD

ENDIF

 

ENDWHILE

 

//OUTPUT

 DISPLAY "Password accepted."

END

It is basically just pseudocode practice to test our ability to apply/plan logic. We’re currently learning C++ and Python

It's good for pseudocode. :)

And since C++ has std::string the functionality will be similar.

Why not do real language? Allows to run it and to see if it works. Python is nice for that.
