      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is my first post. Sorry if it's not great.&lt;br&gt;
This is my Codecademy Workflow project. It is meant to find a &lt;em&gt;pattern&lt;/em&gt; in a line of &lt;em&gt;text&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;br&gt;
For example: text = 'pizza pizza'&lt;br&gt;
             pattern = 'za'&lt;br&gt;
The workflow asks: &lt;em&gt;Does the &lt;strong&gt;text&lt;/strong&gt; 'pizza pizza' contain the &lt;strong&gt;pattern&lt;/strong&gt; 'za'&lt;/em&gt;? If so, 'Pattern Found'. If not move to the next word until the pattern is found.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a link to &lt;a href="https://lucid.app/lucidchart/6b3695d3-47e5-4e3c-a2f1-40e80d6ac931/edit?viewport_loc=-10%2C-256%2C3727%2C1745%2C0_0&amp;amp;invitationId=inv_1b4b7761-d066-4710-8098-12ea02b4237a" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;my flowchart&lt;/a&gt; on Lucid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is my pseudocode for this project:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Define text
Define pattern

if the entire text hasn't been searched:
  continue to the next character of the text.
  create a match_point variable and set it to 0.
  if the entire text hasn't been searched:
   if the characters in the text match the characters in the pattern:
   increase the match_count variable by 1.
if the match_count is equal to the pattern:
  'Pattern found!'

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ok. I think this is all I have for now.&lt;/p&gt;
