Question: If FileOne and FileTwo had been given in reverse alphabetical order, what changes would have to be made to this pseudocode to merge these files

If FileOne and FileTwo had been given in reverse alphabetical order, what changes would have to be made to this pseudocode to merge these files into a file that is in reverse alphabetical order?


Refer to the following pseudocode, which partially merges the files with internal names FileOne and FileTwo into a third file named Merged. (Each record in FileOne and FileTwo contains a single field of string type.)

Read FileOne, Namel Read FileTwo, Name2 While (NOT EOF(FileOne)) AND (NOT EOF(FileTwo)) If Namel < Name2 Then Write Merged, Namel Read FileOne, Namel Else Write Merged, Name2 Read FileTwo, Name2 End If End While

Suppose that the contents of FileOne and FileTwo are

FileOne: "Corinne""Marjorie""Shirley""Tamara"

FileTwo: "Arthur""Michael""Sam"

Read FileOne, Namel Read FileTwo, Name2 While (NOT EOF(FileOne)) AND (NOT EOF(FileTwo)) If Namel < Name2 Then Write Merged, Namel Read FileOne, Namel Else Write Merged, Name2 Read FileTwo, Name2 End If End While
