Psuedocode

I am trying to write an array process for employee names and their salaries, and I also have to determine the mean salary and as well as the number of salaries above and below the mean. Can someone tell me if I am this simple array process I have written is correct

Here is my psuedocode

This program will allow a user to input an employee name and salary
The output will contain the mean salary as well as the number of salaries above and below the mean
As well as the number of salaries above and below the mean

//Arrays used:
// Name (K) = Array for employees names
//Salary (K) = Array of salaries
//
//Variables used:
//Mean = Mean of all employees Salaries
//Upmean = Number of employees making more than the mean
//Downmean = Number of employees making less than the mean
//Sum = Sum of all salaries
//Countm = Counter of mean
//Countup = Counter for all numbers of salaries above mean
//Countdown = Counter for all numbers of salaries below the mean

Main:
Call welcome message
Call input data
Call Calculate
Call output data
End

Write, “Welcome message”
Write, “beginning of salary program”
End

Input data
Declare name (100) of strings
Declare Salary (100) of real
Declare mean, upmean, downmean as real
Set sum = 0
Set Countm = 0
Set Countup = 0
Set Countdown= 0
Write, “Enter employee name and salary”
Write, “Enter 0 when done”
Input Name (K), Salary (K)
While Name < >
Set Countm = Countm + 1
Set sum = Sum + salary
Write, “Enter employee name and salary
Write, “Enter 0 when done“
Input Name (K), Salary (K)
End Input Data

Calculate
//Here is mean found
Set mean = Sum / Countm
// Here number of employees making more than the mean is found
For K Step to CountM
If Salary (K) > “Mean Then “
Set Countup = Countup + 1
End Calculations


Output Data
Write, “There were, “Countm, Salaries entered”
Write,” the mean salary is mean”
Write,” There are,” Countup, “employees who make more than the (average)”
Write, “There are,” Countdown, “employees who make less than the (average)”
End output data

It looks pretty good, for the case that an employee makes exactly the average, they will be counted in the "make less" category. Is that your intent? If not, you should test for Salary >= Mean.

BTW, you could do this very easily with a spreadsheet. The advantage is that as salaries change, you would be able to update those salary changes without needing to re-enter all of the data. Of course if this is for a class or something disregard about the spreadsheet.

Interesting to find out I could use spreadsheet. I would be saving time further down the road "Thanks for the feedback"
