# Banana Cake
## Instructions

1. Assume an action set of {add \<ingredient>, stir, bake, cool}. Draw a flowchart, using the paradigm discussed in class, to show the process of baking a banana cake. Use Google to find a typical list of ingredients.
2. Represent the flowchart from problem 1 as pseudocode.

# Walking
## Instructions
3. Assume an action set of {walk \<value> steps, turn to \<value> degrees}. Draw a flowchart showing a shady path and a sunny path to get from the west doors of the Engineering Building to the south-east doors of the TSC. Pick a meaningful “if” condition to select one of the two paths. Use real-world data in your design.

4. Represent the flowchart from problem 3 as pseudocode.
