An algorithm is an abstract set of rules used to solve a specific problem. Pseudocode is just one of many ways to represent an algorithm.
what's the difference between flow chart and structure diagrams and pseudo code
the difference between that two words is the spelling, numbers of letters and the first letter in that two particular words
Source code is a sequence of executable instructions written in a particular language. Pseudo code is a sequence of non-executable instructions. It is also called algorithm written in plain English
Pseudo code cannot be processed by a machine, it is solely intended for processing by humans.
Writing in pseudo code means writing in a natural language, not in any specific programming language, so there is no thing as "pseudo-code used in C" as opposed to "pseudo-code used in Java".When you write in pseudo-code, you don't have to follow any specific syntactic rules, just to describe the steps you will use in your algorithm.For example, pseudo-code for bubble sort (taken from wikipedia):procedure bubbleSort( A : list of sortable items ) do swapped = false for each i in 1 tolength(A) - 1 inclusive do: if A[i-1] > A[i] then swap( A[i-1], A[i] ) swapped = true end ifend for while swapped end procedureIt is not written in any programming language, but it should be easy to implement this in any language after you understand the idea from the pseudo-code.
It doesn't. Pseudo code isn't a programming language, it is just there to give an idea of how you could write a program.
No. There is no "right way" and "wrong way" of writing pseudo code, let alone qualifying with "absolute". However, a pseudo code is "wrong" if it cannot be understood, or it is incorrect in semantic (what the code tries to describe, solve, etc)
Pseudo code does not have key words, you make it up, that's why it is pseudo.
Pseudo code is a sentence-like representation of an piece of code.A flowchart is a symbolic representation of code, using box shapes and arrows. http://wiki.answers.com/What_is_the_differences_between_Pseudocode_and_Flowchart#ixzz16xbjczkm
pseudo code algorithm to create a linked list
You are going about this backwards. First, define the program. Second, describe its algorithm. Third, if needed, write pseudo code. (Sometime, algorithm and pseudo code is the same process.) Fourth, or third, write real code.
