Pseudocode

Class is the basic starting point in coding, they're all encompassing units.


Pseudocode is a coding design methodology.

Pseudocode is:

“...a step-by-step written outline of your code that you can gradually transcribe into the programming language”.

Pseudocode is subjective and nonstandard

try to use standard structures when working on a project with others

write clearly

learn "standard" structure of a specific institute if necessary


Make sure the pseudocode:

is easily understood by target audience

is easily translated into a computing language

describes the complete process without leaving anything out


Use the Parentheses, Brackets, Braces and Slashes appropriately in your pseudocode as you would with actual code: Parentheses for function parameters, Square Brackets for arrays, Angle Brackets for comparisons, Braces for conditions and Slashes for comments.


Parentheses ( ) Square Brackets [ ] Angle Brackets < > Braces { } Slashes \ /


“...Define your program. While not strictly necessary, writing a one- or two-sentence line at the top of the document will make clear from the beginning the intent of the program:.”
