A pseudocode (pronounced Soo-doh-kohd) is another way of representing an algorithm. It is considered as a non-formal language that helps programmers to write algorithm. It is a detailed description of instructions that a computer must follow in a particular order. It is intended for human reading and cannot be executed directly by the computer. No specific standard for writing a pseudocode exists. The word “pseudo” means “not real,” so “pseudocode” means “not real code”.
Following are some of the frequently used keywords while writing pseudocode:
• INPUT
• COMPUTE
• PRINT
• INCREMENT
• DECREMENT
• IF/ELSE
• WHILE
• TRUE/FALSE
