How would I do pseudocode for this?

I've been told to write pseudocode that will...

-prompt the user for a first name and assign it to variable FName.

-prompt the user for a last name and assign it variable LName.

-prompt the user for a number and assign it to variable PrintTimes.

-use a looping structure for validation to check that the PrintTimes number is from 0-5.

Use a looping structure that will print "Hello FirstName LastName" according to the number of times entered by the user (PrintTimes).

And apparently in all this there is a "for loop" that plays a part by being where the decision will be at the top of the loop.

Code:

//BEGIN
//Declare and initialize variables 
//Get “firstname” input
//Assign to variable FName
//Get “lastname” input
//Assign to variable LName
//Prompt for number input
//Assign to PrintTimes
//Validate with loop that the input is betwenn 0-5
//Format output for printing
//Display "Hello FirstName LastName"
//Print 
//End

Could someone please give me a boost and tell me if I’m on the right track or not?

See especially the part: syntax.

It's basically code where you have the variables and so on, you just don't go into details on how certain things like printing are implemented , you can just say print "foo".

You don't need a loop for the validation - you need it to print it x times.

Code:

for i:= 1 to printTimes 
    print "Hello" firstName lastName
end for

The rest I leave up to you, because this smells like a school assignment
