Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which one of the following statements is TRUE about Pseudo codes?

A	It can be run on a computer.
B	It can be expressed in diagrams.
C	It is a method to represent an algorithm.
D	It is written in JavaScript syntax only.

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -It is one of the methods which can be used to represent an algorithm for a program. It does not have a specific syntax like any of the programming languages and thus cannot be executed on a computer.

Detailed explanation-3: -The answer is option D. All of the above. Pseudo code is a loose manner of describing programming that does not require adherence to strict programming language syntax or knowledge of underlying technologies. It is used to develop a program’s rough draught or blueprint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Writing in pseudocode is similar to writing in a programming language. Each step of the algorithm is written on a line of its own in sequence. Usually, instructions are written in uppercase, variables in lowercase and messages in sentence case.

Detailed explanation-5: -Algorithm and Pseudocode are the two related terms in computer programming. The basic difference between algorithm and pseudocode is that an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure developed to solve a problem, while a pseudocode is a technique of developing an algorithm.
