Lesson 1: What is Pseudocode?
To Know - Represent algorithms in pseudocode.
To Be Able To - Use pseudocode to develop your own code.
Use pseudocode to create code for a simple program.
Pseudo
A prefix derived from Greek meaning false, fake, sham, or imitation.
Code
A set of rules, symbols, or signals used to represent, communicate, or process information, often for secrecy, efficiency, or classification.
Pseudocode is a description of an algorithm using everyday wording, but modeled to appear similar to a simplified programming language.
Why do we use it?
Pseudocode acts as a human-readable bridge between an algorithm and its implementation.
It is used to plan, communicate and document software logic before writing code.
Pseudocode Standard
Developing Pseudocode
Together we are going to create pseudocode program. We are going to represent an Emotion Badge program using the Python to help guide us.
Now your turn!!
In a word document develop pseudocode that represents the Shining Sunbeams program shown written in python.
