Detailed explanation-1: -Pseudocode literally means ‘fake code’. It is an informal and contrived way of writing programs in which you represent the sequence of actions and instructions (aka algorithms) in a form that humans can easily understand. You see, computers and human beings are quite different, and therein lies the problem.
Detailed explanation-2: -Common pseudocode notation INPUT – indicates a user will be inputting something. OUTPUT – indicates that an output will appear on the screen. WHILE – a loop (iteration that has a condition at the beginning) FOR – a counting loop (iteration)
Detailed explanation-3: -Mathematical style pseudocode is sometimes referred to as pidgin code, for example pidgin ALGOL (the origin of the concept), pidgin Fortran, pidgin BASIC, pidgin Pascal, pidgin C, and pidgin Lisp.
