This was a portfolio project for the Codecademy "Intro to IT course."

As this was my 1st time dealing with a flowchart I spent some time looking a round the internet for ideas on how to structure. I ultimately ended up just going with the flow. below is my flowchart.

Pseudo code was something I had only heard about probably 3 hours before posting this, so I spent some time googling and watching YouTube videos to get a better understanding, however I ended up using ChatGPT to write it out for me and I went through it to change some words up. Below is my Pseudocode.

PSEUDOCODE

START

Prompt user to enter some text

Store the input in a variable called text

Convert text to lowercase to ensure any variation of “the” is counted

Split the text into a list of words using spaces and punctuation as markers

Initialize a counter variable called count to 0

For each word in the list 

If word is equal to "the" 

  Increase count by 1 

End if

End for

Display the value of count as the result

End

In conclusion from what I found online and the outputs ChatGPT gave me I have a lot to learn and I look forward to improving. please leave and suggestions or advise you have for me in the comments.
