What's wrong with this psuedocode?
Doing a lab project for an IT course and i am using Python in IDE to learn the basics of programming yet i keep getting errors with the following code. Can you see what i can't?
dayoFweek = raw_input ('Enter day of the week. ')
numberOfsteps = raw_input ('Enter the number of steps. ')
caloriEsused = (numberOfsteps/2000)*65
print 'The calories used is', caloriEsused

There is nothing wrong with your pseudo code.
Pseudo code, by definition, is a simplified layout of what you want your program to do, bypassing a lot of the details.
For instance, here's some "pseudo code" to get ready in the morning:
Get out of bed
Take a shower
Get dressed
Eat breakfast
Notice that there are no details here, and if this were converted into a program, you would, in fact, clean it up with all the necessary details.
MY pseudo code will NOT be the same as YOUR pseudo code, because it is just your own words to describe in broad strokes, what you want your program to do.

initialize your variables. also, you have the comma in the last line outside of the apostrophe. i haven't programmed python before, but this doesn't seem right.
