I NEED TO DEBUG THIS PSUEDOCODE

// This pseudocode should determine and output the rental fees for cars.
// Standard cars rent for $65 per day, compacts rent for $40 per day,
// and subcompacts rent for $30 per day. Rentals for at least 7 days
// receive a 20% discount. An error message is displayed if the car type
// is not valid.

Pseudo-code for car rentals:

Start
   string carType;
   num days;
   num rate=0;
   num discount=0;

   num STD_RATE = 65;
   num COM_RATE = 40;
   num SUB_RATE = 30;
   num DAYS_FOR_DISCOUNT = 10;
   num DISCOUNT_RATE = 0.20;
   string QUIT = "ZZZZ";

   Call getReady() function and save return value in carType

   While carType is not QUIT Then
       output "Enter days rented "
       input days
       if carType is equal to "Standard" Then
           Set rate = STD_RATE;
       else if (carType is equal to "Compact" Then
           Set rate = COM_RATE
       else if (carType is equal to "Subcompact" Then
           Set rate = SUB_RATE
       Otherwise
           Set rate = 0
           output "Invalid car type"
       End if

       If rate is not equal to 0 Then
           output "Rental Fee: $"<<rate<<endl;
           If days >= DAYS_FOR_DISCOUNT Then
               Calculate discount = rate * DISCOUNT_RATE;
               output "Discount Fee: $",discount
               output "Net fee: $", (rate-discount)
           End if
       End if

       Call getReady() function and save return value in carType
   End While
  
Stop

getReady()
    string carType;
   output "Enter car type or , QUIT, to quit: ";
   input carType;
return carType;
