PSEUDOCODE

PSEUDOCODE
• Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps
programmers develop algorithms.
• It is intended for human reading and cannot be executed directly by
the computer
• Pseudocode uses six programming constructs (always written in
uppercase): SEQUENCE, CASE, WHILE, REPEAT-UNTIL, FOR, and
IF-THEN-ELSE. These constructs — also called keywords —are used to
describe the control flow of the algorithm.
HOW TO WRITE PSEUDOCODE

1. Always capitalize the initial word


2. Make only one statement per line.
3. Indent to show hierarchy, improve readability, and show nested
constructs.
4. Always end multi-line sections using any of the END keywords
(ENDIF, ENDWHILE, etc.).
5. Keep your statements programming language independent.
