A local community library is writing an algorithm to record the genre of books donated by the public (for example, "Mystery").
variable.length returns the number of characters in variable.
variable.upper returns the characters in variable in upper case.
valid = false
while (valid == false)
genreName = input("Enter the genre: ")
if (genreName.length > 2) AND (genreName.length < 15)
genreSaved = genreName.upper
valid = true
print("Genre accepted")
else
print("Invalid genre, try again")
endif
endwhile
The algorithm needs testing to make sure the decision block (if-else statement) works correctly.
Identify two different pieces of test data that can be used to test different outputs of the algorithm. Give the output from the program for each piece of test data.
