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: -The correct answer is: Pseudocode is language agnostic. This means that pseudocode language has a mode of data transmission that is not known to the machine program functions.
Detailed explanation-3: -I would say LiveCode is most similar, followed by some version of BASIC (QBasic, QB64, BBC Basic, FreeBasic, Microsoft Small Basic). Lua and Python and are nearly as close. I find Python seems to be the best in this respect, it’s also easier to write good Python on a whiteboard.
Detailed explanation-4: -a machine-level code. a random number. a flow chart. Structured English to communicate the logic of a program.
Detailed explanation-5: -Pseudocode is not an actual computer programming language. Pseudocode is used to describe executable statements that will eventually be translated by the programmer into a program. All of the above.
