Pseudo Code

/ˈsuː.doʊ koʊd/ · Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. An informal, language-agnostic notation for describing an algorithm's logic using plain language mixed with programming constructs like loops, conditionals, and variable assignments — intended to communicate intent to humans without the syntactic constraints of any particular programming language.

    In plain English: A rough sketch of a program written in plain English mixed with coding concepts, meant for humans to read and discuss.

    Example: "Let me write the pseudo code on the whiteboard first so we agree on the algorithm before anyone starts coding."
