7 A student used the following line in an algorithm:

SEND ‘Please enter the person’s name’ TO DISPLAY

It did not give the expected result. Explain why and write a correct version. (2)

It didn’t give a correct result as the student made it a string instead of a variable, the outut
would be – please enter the person’s name – and that’s it, not letting the user input their
name. the correct pseudocode would be:

SET name TO “ “
SEND “Please enter the person’s name” TO DISPLAY
RECEIVE name FROM (STRING) KEAYBOARD
