[Year 12 SofDev] Pseudocode tweak - VITTA 2012 SD Exam #1, Question C8b

[Margaret King Iaquinto]

Hi Mark
In pseudocode, END IF does not need to be written. It commonly is --
but it is not required. I recall on past exams in SD that the
assessors did not flag this as an error.
I think this is because 'VB-centric' languages (wish I had a better
way of describing this phenomenon since so many teachers use VB)
require the END IF in the code. But some  languages, such as PHP, do
not require it.
But perhaps someone else might add to the discussion?

Question C8b

	Hi all. I believe in the VITTA 2012 SD Exam #1 there's a missing END
IF to close the last IF in C8b. 

It's not crucial to any of the subsequent questions, but you might
want to add it before giving it to the kiddies.
