Detailed explanation-1: -Description: Pseudocode is not an actual programming language. So it cannot be compiled into an executable program. It uses short terms or simple English language syntaxes to write code for programs before it is actually converted into a specific programming language.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudocode is a “text-based” detail (algorithmic) design tool. The rules of Pseudocode are reasonably straightforward. All statements showing “dependency” are to be indented. These include while, do, for, if, switch.
