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: -In pseudocode, INPUT asks a question. OUTPUT prints a message on screen. A simple program could be created to ask someone their name and age, and to make a comment based on these.
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.
