Reflection
The pseudocode was constructed based on logic and estimation of the regular functions of the coffee maker. Aside from the basic preparation process of a cup of coffee, the program would need to operate with several other variables. Firstly, the machine would need to be able to distinguish whether it is ON or OFF. Secondly, a variable that specifies the period of operation would be required. Therefore, the machine would need to be able to determine the current time and set additional time brackets considering the current time. Thirdly, the program needs a variable that monitors and assesses the quantities of water and coffee present. It should be able to indicate whether the existing supplies are sufficient to make coffee. If not, they should turn the machine off to avoid damaging the tool.
To perform its duties correctly, the program should allow for multiple functions to operate. A variable that would allow to update and display the current time is required for the coffee maker, since it would aid in setting the preferred making time. The differentiation between OFF and ON is carried out by the main code. The use of the pseudocode is an effective method in outlining the main presumed operations for the coffee maker. It allows a user to go through every step and every diverging point to understand the structure of the code and the functionality it would entail.
