<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Thanks for the response, I find this confusing. I would think the testing table should be based on the written component not on the pseudocode that already has errors in it. If you go on the written
part of the question, they need to have either enough money or have given permission to top up, the key being OR. The pseudocode has the error of AND, so are the students supposed to create a testing table from faulty pseudocode? I would think the testing
table is developed from the written component, so you then find the errors to answer 8b.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
