Pseudo code

Pseudo code is a simple method of showing an algorithm.

It describes what the algorithm does by using English key words that are very
similar to those used in a high-level programming language.

To ensure that pseudo code is easily understandable by others it is useful to be


consistent in the way that it is written.

Pseudo code format

» a non-proportional font is used throughout

» all keywords (words used to describe a specific action e.g. INPUT) are written
in capital letters

» all names given to data items and subroutines start with a capital letter

» where conditional and loop statements are used, repeated or selected


statements are indented by two spaces.

Pseudo code format

A value is assigned to an item/variable using the operator.

The variable on the left of the is assigned the value of the expression on the
right.

Examples of pseudo code assignment statements:

Cost 10 Cost has the value 10

Price Cost * 2 Price has the value 20

Tax Price * 0.12 Tax has the value 2.4

SellingPrice Price + Tax SellingPrice has the value 22.4

Gender "M" Gender has the value M

Chosen False Chosen has the value False

The pseudo code for conditional statements

There are two types of conditional statement:

IF Age < 18
THEN
OUTPUT "Child"

… ENDCASE

CASE OF Grade

"B" : OUTPUT "Good"
"C" : OUTPUT "Average"
OTHERWISE OUTPUT "Improvement is needed"
ENDCASE
