Question

I need help in converting this into pseudo-code

Student.java

public class Student implements Comparable<Student>{
private String name, major, status;
private int rank;
  
public Student()
{
this.name = this.major = this.status = "";
this.rank = 0;
}
  
public Student(String name, String major, String status)
{
this.name = name;
this.major = major;
this.status = status;
}

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public String getMajor() {
return major;
}

public String getStatus() {
return status;
}
  
public int getRank()
{
return this.rank;
}
  
public void setRank(int rank)
{
this.rank = rank;
}
  
@Override
public String toString()
{
return("Name: " + this.name + ", Major: " + this.major + ", Status: " + this.status);
}

@Override
public int compareTo(Student o) {
if(this.rank < o.getRank())
return -1;
else if(this.rank == o.getRank())
return 0;
else
return 1;
}
}

RankIndividuals.java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;

public class RankIndividuals {
private ArrayList<Student> students;
private ArrayList<Integer> ranks;
  
public RankIndividuals()
{
this.students = new ArrayList<>();
this.ranks = new ArrayList<>();
}
  
public void addStudents(Student student)
{
this.students.add(student);
}
  
public void giveRank()
{
for(int i = 0; i < students.size(); i++)
{
if(students.get(i).getStatus().equalsIgnoreCase("Excellent"))
students.get(i).setRank(1);
if(students.get(i).getStatus().equalsIgnoreCase("Very Good"))
students.get(i).setRank(2);
if(students.get(i).getStatus().equalsIgnoreCase("Good"))
students.get(i).setRank(3);
if(students.get(i).getStatus().equalsIgnoreCase("Average"))
students.get(i).setRank(4);
if(students.get(i).getStatus().equalsIgnoreCase("Bad"))
students.get(i).setRank(5);
}
Collections.sort(this.students);
}
  
public void displayAllStudents()
{
for(Student st : this.students)
{
System.out.println(st);
}
}
}

RankerApp.java (Main class)

public class RankerApp {
  
public static void main(String[] args)
{
RankIndividuals individuals = new RankIndividuals();
individuals.addStudents(new Student("John", "Computer Science", "Good"));
individuals.addStudents(new Student("Alice", "Geography", "Excellent"));
individuals.addStudents(new Student("Henry", "Physics", "Average"));
individuals.addStudents(new Student("Maxx", "English", "Bad"));
individuals.addStudents(new Student("Joseph", "Chemistry", "Average"));
individuals.addStudents(new Student("Nuke", "Mathematics", "Very Good"));
  
System.out.println("STUDENTS BEFORE RANKING:\n------------------------");
individuals.displayAllStudents();
  
individuals.giveRank();
  
System.out.println("\nSTUDENTS AFTER RANKING:\n-----------------------");
individuals.displayAllStudents();
}
}

Answer 1

Don't panic for psudocode,it is nothing but a piece of code easily understood by humans. So if you want to convert it to psudocode just remove the java java related keywords and keep the simple logic code. For example

Class Student

DECLARE name, major, status
