When writing a program to add two numbers input by a user and display the sum, which of the following pseudocode examples most accurately represents this operation?
BEGIN Input firstNumber Input secondNumber Set sum to firstNumber plus secondNumber Output sum END
firstNumber ? secondNumber = Output(sum)
Input firstNumber + Input secondNumber = Display Sum
Correct pseudocode should clearly outline the steps needed to perform the desired operation. In this case, the operation is to add two numbers and then display the result. The correct answer is an example of how you might describe these actions in pseudocode, which isn't bound by strict syntactical rules, but rather emphasizes human-readable logic flow.
