Developers listen. Stop that. Drop the ramen. Listen. Look at the screen. Come on.

I’ve got a secret for you.

Pseudocode helps code quality

Don’t tell everyone. Let it be our secret.

Prerequisites:

  • Coding experience in some language would be useful

Terminology

Pseudocode: A simplified human-readable programming language

What is Pseudocode?

Pseudocode is a human-readable description of what code actually does. By leveraging the English language, Psuedocode makes it easy to understand the meaning of programming code without the use of a computer or even a particular programming language.

The idea is, even if you have two programmers who don’t know the same programming language, they can still communicate through the use of writing algorithms in Pseudocode.

The idea is that the algorithm is easy to follow and understand.

On the first line a variable is set up with the number 1. We then initiate a while loop where num is output (printed) to the console.
