The function StackFull() checks whether a stack is full. The function uses the variable TopOfStack to represent the pointer to the most recent position used on the stack, and the variable Max to represent the maximum size of the stack. Assume TopOfStack and Max are global variables. FUNCTION StackFull() RETURNS BOOLEAN IF TopOfStack = Max THEN RETURN TRUE ELSE RETURN FALSE ENDIF ENDFUNCTION An algorithm AddInteger is required to add a new integer data element to a stack. The stack is implemented as an array ArrayStack. The function AddInteger() calls StackFull() and returns an appropriate message. Complete the pseudocode for the function AddInteger(). FUNCTION AddInteger(NewInteger : INTEGER) RETURNS STRING ENDFUNCTION
