While designing the engineering tools inventory control system program three stages

of pseudocode were created:

First stage pseudocode:

DO Tools inventory control system
Welcome (FUNCTION):
Display_menu_options (FUNCTION):
Option = get_menu_selection (FUNCTION):

CASE Option
1 = Load file
2 = Display contents of data base
3 = Insert new tool record
4 = Delete tool record
5 = Update existing tool record
6 = Search for tool stock by name
7 = Save file
8 = Exit program

WHILE (option < 1 or option > 8)

LOOP
Write out ‘End of program’
END LOOP

Welcome (FUNCTION):
Write out ‘WELCOME TO TOOLS INVENTORY CONTROL
SYSTEM’

Display_menu_options (FUNCTION):
Write out ‘An Engineer's Tools Inventory Control Options’
1) Load database
2) Display all records
3) Insert new tool record
4) Delete tool record
5) Update existing tool record
6) Search for tool stock by name
7) Save database
8) Exit from program
Write out ‘Please select option 1-8:’

Get_menu_selection (FUNCTION):
Read in option
WHILE (option < 1 or option > 8)
LOOP
Write out ‘Invalid input – Please try again’
Read in option
END LOOP
END DO Tools inventory control system
