PSEUDOCODE

Pseudocode is a simple way to show algorithms using English-like syntax. It describes what an algorithm does using terms similar to programming languages. The pseudocode document defines common programming concepts like variables, data types, input/output, arrays, and conditional statements. It provides examples of how to declare variables, assign values, and write conditional logic using pseudocode notation.

PSEUDOCODE - A simple way of showing an algorithm.


It describes what an algorithm does by using English words that are very similar to those used in a high

Pseudocode
• Declaration & Usage of Variables & Constants

• Variable – Store of data which changes during execution of the program (due to user input)

• Constant – Store of data that remains the same during the execution of the program

• Basic Data Type


•
Integer –whole Number e.g. 2; 8; 100

• Real – Decimal Number e.g. 7.00; 5.64

• Char – Single Character e.g. a; Y

• String – Multiple Characters (Text) e.g. ZNotes; COOL

• Boolean – Only 2 Values e.g. True/False; Yes/No; 0/1

• Input & Output (READ & PRINT)


• – Used to receive and display data to the user respectively. (It is recommended to use input and

EXAMPLE :

INPUT Name
OUTPUT "Hello Mr." , Name
// Alternatively //
READ Name
PRINT "Hello Mr," , Name
• Declaration of variable
- A variable/constant can be declared by the following manner
h level programming language.

d output commands)
// Alternatively //
READ Name
PRINT "Hello Mr," , Name
• Declaration of variable
- A variable/constant can be declared by the following manner

TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING SAID :

Declaring a variable means introducing it to your program and specifying its name and type.
It's like giving a name to something (the variable) and saying what kind of thing it is (the type

Imagine you have a box (the variable) and you want to label it with a name (the variable nam
and specify what can go inside it (the type).
For example, you might have a box called "age" where you'll put numbers representing som
So, when you declare a variable in your program, you're essentially creating that labeled bo

SOMEONE'S AGE

DECLARE [Variable Name] : [DATATYPE OF VARIABLE]

This keyword is used to indicate that you're declaring something

LITTLE QUIZ :

VARIABLE NAME________________________

• DATATYPE OF A VARIABLE :_____________________

• Array:
e).

me)

meone's age.
ox and saying what kind of information it will hold
• DATATYPE OF A VARIABLE :_____________________

• Array:
• Array is similar to variable but it can store multiple values of same datatype under single nam

DECLARE [ARRAYNAME] : ARRAY [Lower Limit : Upper Limit ] OF [DATATYPE]

• EXAMPLE:

DECLARE numbers : ARRAY [1:5] OF INTEGER specifies the range or size of the a
The "Lower Limit" and "Upper Lim
represent the boundaries of the a

ARRAY NAME
This is where you specify INDICATES WHAT FOLLOWS AN ARRAY
the name of the array
you're declaring.

• Assignment - Each variable is assigned using a left arrow.

[VARIABLE NAME] <---- [Value to be assigned]


Example :

ARRAYNAME[IndexValue] <---- [Value to be assigned]


Example :

For instance, if you have an array of numbers like [10, 20, 30, 40, 50], LETS SAY THESE
the index values and corresponding elements would be:

• Index 0: Element 10
• Index 1: Element 20
• Index 2: Element 30
• Index 3: Element 40
• Index 4: Element 50

THINGS TO CONSIDER:
• All keywords are written in capital letters

array.
mit"
array indices.

E ARE TEMPERATURES
• Index 3: Element 40
• Index 4: Element 50

THINGS TO CONSIDER:
• All keywords are written in capital letters
• Whenever conditional and loop statements are used , repeated or selected statements a
