Writing in pseudocode – Practise pseudocode
Pseudocode is a form of writing that uses the basic syntax of a programming language while omitting certain details. Here are some examples of writing in pseudocode that will help you in placements.
It helps you to think through your code before actually writing it. Pseudocode is also sometimes referred to as “programming in English”, or “English-like programming”.
What is pseudocode?
Pseudocode is an informal way of programming description that does not require any strict programming language syntax or underlying technology considerations. It is used for creating an outline or a rough draft of a program.
Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudocode is a “text-based” detail (algorithmic) design tool.
The rules of Pseudocode are reasonably straightforward. All statements showing “dependency” are to be indented. These include while, do, for, if, switch. The examples below will illustrate this notion.
How to write in pseudocode?
Pseudocode is a programming language that is not used to produce a program but rather to give written descriptions of algorithms and programs.
The pseudocode algorithm description is easier to write than the actual code in a programming language and it can be read more easily by people who are not familiar with programming.
A pseudocode algorithm can also be translated into many computer programming languages.
