6 The pseudocode OUTPUT command starts each output on a new line. (a) A new procedure MyOutput() will take a string and a Boolean parameter. MyOutput() may be called repeatedly and will use concatenation to build a string using a global variable MyString, up to a maximum length of 255 characters. MyString will be output in either of these two cases: 1. The Boolean parameter value is TRUE 2. The resulting string (after concatenation) would be longer than 255 characters. If MyString is not output, the string is concatenated with MyString. For example, the calls to MyOutput() given below would result in the output as shown: MyOutput("Hello ", FALSE) MyOutput("ginger ", FALSE) MyOutput("cat", TRUE) MyOutput("How are you?", TRUE) Resulting output: Hello ginger cat How are you? Notes: : MyString is initialised to an empty string before MyOutput () is called for the first time. No string passed to MyOutput () will be longer than 255 characters.
