Question 76

A student has developed an algorithm to print discount vouchers based on a customer's loyalty tier.

Figure 1 shows the algorithm.

1      tier ← USERINPUT
2      IF tier = 'bronze' THEN
3          vouchers ← 1
4      ELSE IF tier = 'silver' THEN
5          vouchers ← 2
6      ELSE IF tier = 'gold' THEN
7          points ← 5
8      ELSE
9          OUTPUT 'tier not recognised'
10     ENDIF
11     FOR i ← 1 TO vouchers
12         PRINT_VOUCHER('five_percent')
13     ENDFOR

The programmer realizes they have made a mistake. State the line number of the algorithm shown in Figure 1 where the error has been made.
