Get the Pseudo Jerkin It mug.Pseudocode is a description of a computer programming algorithm that uses the structural conventions of programming languages, but omits detailed subroutines or language-specific syntax. It can also refer to a high level 'language' whose aim is to generalise the logic and program flow of a computer program
An example of how pseudocode differs from regular code is below.
Regular code (written in PHP):
<?php
if (is_valid($cc_number)) {
execute_transaction($cc_number, $order);
} else {
show_failure();
}
?>
Pseudocode:
if credit card number is valid
execute transaction based on number and order
else
show a generic failure message
end if
