MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -Pseudocode is not a programming language, it is a simple way of describing a set of instructions that does not have to use specific syntax. 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.

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.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pseudo code is a term which is often used in programming and algorithm based fields. It is a methodology that allows the programmer to represent the implementation of an algorithm. Simply, we can say that it’s the cooked up representation of an algorithm.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are different guide and tutorials which lean more towards language-specific pseudocode, examples of such are Fortran style pseudo code, Pascal style pseudo code, C style pseudo code and Structured Basic style pseudo code.
