A programming language is a well defined set of rules and commands which can be combined to tell a computer what to do as a computer program.
Pseudo-code is like a "rough draft" of a program where the programmer outlines what they want the computer to do, but they do not write any actual code. While there are various definitions for "proper" pseudo-code, most programmers just write in their own combinations of English (or their speaking language of choice) and various bits of actual code from real programming languages.

∙ 11y agoA formal programming language can be compiled or executed, while pseudo-code describes only the algorithm that would be implemented and cannot be compiled or executed on an actual computer. The former relies on a well-founded syntax and grammar that must be obeyed to be considered valid language, while the latter has only a general guideline, no formal compiler or interpreter, and is not intended to be used as the actual program, but only a blue-print or outline of a program.

What are sentences that appear to be written in a programming language but do not actually follow the structure of the language?
Pseudocode. It is a cross between English and a programming language, designed to be quickly written and understood without worrying about syntax.
What are the advantages of pseudocode?
Pseudo-code allows for an intermediate step between a human language description of an algorithm and a programming language description of the algorithm. It is often a good way for non-programmers to understand the programming process.

What is the difference between static and dynamic programming?
in static programming properties, methods and object have to be declared first, while in dynamic programming they can be created at runtime. This is usually due to the fact that the dynamic programming language is an interpreted language.
