Algorithms - pseudocode
This pseudocode provides a programmatic explanation of the requirements described in Writing a client program to evaluate ItemData elements.
IsItemComplete(item)
{
if (item only has calculated controls)
return true;
foreach(childControl of item)
{
bool completeControlFound = false;
if (IsControlIncomplete(childControl, completeControlFound))
return false;
}
return completeControlFound;
}
IsControlIncomplete(control, completeControlFound)
{
if (control is a calculated control)
return false;
if (control is a control type that doesn’t have children (text,
pulldown, etc.))
{
if (control has value)
{
completeControlFound = true;
}
return false;
}
if (control is a radio group)
{
if (it doesn’t have a selection)
return false;
selectedOption = the radio group’s selected option;
if (selectedOption doesn’t have any child controls OR
it has exactly one child that is a calculated control)
{
completeControlFound = true;
return false;
}
foreach (child of the selected option)
{
if (IsChildControlIncomplete(child))
return true;
}
completeControlFound = true;
return false;
}
if (control is a checkbox option)
{
if (it isn't checked)
return false;
if (it has exactly one child that is a calculated control)
{
completeControlFound = true;
return false;
}
foreach (child of the checkbox option)
{
if (IsChildControlIncomplete(child))
return true;
}
completeControlFound = true;
return false;
}
}
IsChildControlIncomplete(control)
{
if (control is a calculated control)
return false;
if (control is a control type that doesn't have children (text, pulldown, etc.))
Does the control have a value?
if (yes)
return false;
if (no)
return true;
if (control is a radio group)
{
if (it doesn’t have a selection)
return true;
selectedOption = the radio group’s selected option;
if (selectedOption doesn’t have any child controls OR
it has exactly one child that is a calculated control)
return false;
foreach (child of the selected option)
{
if (IsChildControlIncomplete(child))
return true;
}
return false;
}
if (control is a checkbox option)
{
if (it isn't checked)
return true;
if (it has exactly one child that is a calculated control)
return false;
foreach (child of the checkbox option)
{
if (IsChildControlIncomplete(child))
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
