Pseudocode

Pseudocode

This is a way to write algorithms in structured English.
It is not actual code – instead it is designed to be easy to read while providing a basic understanding of an algorithm’s function.
Pseudocode is used to plan and design algorithms before writing actual code as it helps programmers focus on logic without worrying about syntax errors.
Commonly used logical structures in pseudocode include: IF, ELSE, WHILE, FOR, INPUT, OUTPUT, etc.

INPUT number

IF number > 0 THEN

OUTPUT “Positive”

ELSE

OUTPUT “Not positive”

ENDIF
