Help with beginning programming class

I know this may seem odd, but since the community has so many smart  and techno people I thought I'd toss it out here. I'm having a lot of problems with my programming class. Right now I'm just trying to learn the basics and even though my instructor helps some, it's an online class and she and I seem to not be able to get on the same page. So I decided to reach out.

I'm still using psuedocode because languages are next semester. I'm stuck right now on if-then-else statements, along with some other problems.

Thanks in advance
