Structure of a Pseudocode

Pseudocode: add_three_numbers (the title indicates the start of the pseudocode)

Pseudocode: simple/descriptive title

Declaring_Variable / variable_declaration (making known the variable by stating the name of the
variable and data type of the variable)

Number1 = integer; (variable_name = data_type)

Number2 = integer;

Number3 = integer;

Or Number1, Number2, Number3 = integer;

Total = real;

Phrase = string;

Grade = character;

VAT = real

Initializing_variable / variable_initialization (giving a variable a starting value)

Number1 = 0; (variable_name = value)

Number2 = 0;

Number3 = 0; (note: initializing a variable is also creating a constant)

Or Number1, Number2, Number3, Total = 0;

Total = 0;

Phrase = “Thank you for coming. Have a good day.”;

Grade = “A”;

VAT = 0.14 (note: always convert percentages to decimal)

Garbage value – random value e.g 35465768

Body (IPO)

Input

step 1a: OUTPUT/DISPLAY/PRINT/WRITE “Please enter the 1st Number”; (prompting/requesting


data)

INPUT/READ Number1;
Step1b: put on the screen “please enter the 1st number”

Accept the user input and store it in the variable number1

step 2: OUTPUT “Please enter the 2nd Number”;

INPUT Number2;

step 3: OUTPUT “Please enter the 3rd Number”;

INPUT Number3;

processing

step 4: total = Number1 + Number2 + Number3;

output

step 5a: OUTPUT total; 70

step 5b: OUTPUT “the total is: “, total; the total is: 70

step 5c: OUTPUT “the total is: , total”; the total is: , total

End (indicates the end of the pseudocode)

Example of conditional statement

Entering 40 different maths grade

Step 1 Count = 1

Step 2 While the variable count (40) is less than 40, stay inside of the loop

Step 3 Maths_grade = 40%

Step 4 IF Maths_grade >= 50% (True? Or False?)

THEN Print “You passed” (True)

ELSE Print “You failed” (False)

Step 5 Add one to count = 1 + 39

Count = 40
Step 6 end
