your pseudocode is logically correct (if you intended the "count+1" to be outside of the IF statement) but you have some syntax errors.

BEGIN
    count = 0
    present = 0
    GET advent
    WHILE advent has not ended
        IF advent[count] = "Present" THEN
            present = present + 1
        ENDIF
        count = count + 1
    ENDWHILE
END

as for the actual code you'll need to know the structure of the text file (i.e. how exactly the presents are stored) in order to successfully write the program.

Thank you for your reply. What do you mean by "You'll need to know the structure of the text file"??
