Pseudo Code Notes

Pseudocode Summary:

High-Level Logic: Pseudocode is a high-level, human-readable description of an algorithm.

Universal Language: It’s not tied to any specific programming language, making it universally understandable.

Uses Keywords: Pseudocode employs common programming keywords like IF, FOR, WHILE, READ, and PRINT.

Modular: It supports procedures and functions, allowing the division of complex problems into smaller parts.

Easy to Understand: Pseudocode is designed for clarity and readability.

Adaptable: It can be easily translated into actual code in a specific programming language.

examples of pseudocode:

Print Numbers 1 to 10:

FOR i FROM 1 TO 10
    PRINT i
END FOR
Calculate Sum:

SET sum to 0
FOR EACH num IN numbers
    SET sum to sum + num
END FOR
Find Maximum Value:

SET max to first element of list
FOR i FROM 2 TO LENGTH(list)
    IF list[i] > max THEN
        SET max to list[i]
    END IF
END FOR

Pseudocode serves as a flexible and clear tool for planning and communicating algorithmic ideas before writing actual code.
