Need help coming up with an efficient algorithm pseudocode.


Question

I need help coming up with an efficient algorithm for the below.  The automation software i am using has a very limited syntax, can use for loops and if else statements and all the math functions.  

 

I have several variables.

Boolean Variable S = Start Step Sequence - True/False

Integer Variable R = Total Number of Recipes - Constant of 50

Integer Variable X = Number of Recipe Steps - Can be 1 to (Variable R)

Integer Variable Y = Starting Recipe Step - Can be 1 to (Variable R)

Integer Variable Z = Ending Recipe Step - Can be 1 to (Variable R)

Integer Variable C = Current Recipe Step - Can be 1 to (Variable R)

Integer Variable T = Time Duration - Constant 60 seconds

Boolean Variable D = Steps Done - True/False

 

So I am working on a problem where the end user can Change Variable X and Y.

 

At minimum i need an algorithm that can look at the Number of steps (Variable X) and then take the input of the starting Step (Variable Y) and then Calculate the Ending Step (Variable Z). If the steps cause Variable Z to go past 50 (Variable R) then is starts back at 1 and increments the value up accordingly.

Once Start Step Sequence (Variable S) is set to True then the algorithm will need to start at Variable Y and assign this to the Current Recipe Step (Variable C) then every Time Duration (Variable T) it needs to increment Variable C up by 1 to the next step. If the Ending Step (Variable Z) is such that it is less than the starting step (Variable Y) due to the to the number of steps causing the value to roll over then the same thing would need to happen with variable C and once at a value of 50 (Variable R) and more increments are required it would roll over to 1 and keep incrementing up until the number of steps is completed meaning Variable C is equal to Variable Z and the duration of the final step has expired. THen once the final step duration has completed flag Steps Done (Variable D) to True and set Variable S to false.

    • Amazon Deals: Samsung Q990F Q900F Q800F 2025 Dolby Atmos soundbars with wireless subwoofers by Sayan Sen While separate AV receivers with hi-fi speakers are generally the preferred way to listed to music and watch movies/shows by audiophiles, the more general folks often prefer soundbars instead as they offer a capable all in one solution that is still plenty good. Currently Nakamichi is running discounts on multiple products from its Dragaon lineup as well as its Shockwafe model. If you are looking for more options to choose from Samsung has its Q-series products at lowest prices (purchase links towards the end of article). Q990F The flagship Q990F is an 11.1.4 system and the single subwoofer unit on it houses two opposite-facing 8-inch subwoofer drivers. Thus, together they move around the same amount of air as a single 12-inch subwoofer unit. In addition to increasing the bass by +3 dB, dual opposing drivers are also said to help reduce vibrations of the subwoofer cabinet by cancelling out the resonance. Samsung also says that the bass is "AI-optimized" but we are not sure if it actually helps or if it's just a buzz term here. Aside from the bass, dialogue in movies is the second most important thing, and Samsung claims great vocal clarity from its front speakers thanks to AVA (Active Voice Amplifier) Pro feature that is said to detect noise disturbances and amplify dialogue to make it more audible over such surrounding noises. Q900F Feature wise the Q900F is similar to the 990F model except it has fewer channels and it is a 7.1.2 setup. Finally the Q800F is a 5.1.2 system and it has a passive radiator instead of the additonal subwoofer driver unit.
