Array Processing - Dictionary Program

Using MS Word, write psuedocode ONLY for the following situation.

Create and load an array with the following 8 values.

biff
comely
fez
mottle
peruke
bedraggled
quisling

rage

Create a second array (parallel array). To hold the defintions to these words. You can just put look up word where the definition should go for time sake.

- Be sure to use lowercase, as shown above. This will make the processing easier.

- Use an external .TXT file to load the words and the definitions into the arrays ( words.txt and definitions.txt). you can fake the txt file

Ask the user to enter a word

- Search through this array until you find a match with the word the user entered.

- Once you find a match, output "Yes, that word is in the dictionary" and output the definition.

- If you get to the end of the array and do NOT find a match, output "No, that word is not in the dictionary".

- The program should work with any set of words and definition in the arrays. If I were to change the words and definitions in the arrays, it should still work.

Please write in pseudocode
