Pseudocode

Pseudocode is a generic way of describing an algorithm using the conventions of programming languages.

As the name suggests, pseudocode generally does not actually use the syntax of any particular language; there is no systematic standard form, although any particular writer will generally borrow the appearance of a particular language, popular sources including ALGOL, C, and Lisp. Details not relevant to the algorithm (such as memory management code) are usually omitted, and the programming language will be augmented with natural language where convenient (for example, for trivial operations such as swapping two variables). Depending on the writer, pseudocode may therefore vary widely in style, from a near-exact imitation of a real programming language at one extreme, to a description approaching formatted prose at the other.

Algorithm: In mathematics and computer science an algorithm (the word is derived from the name of the Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi) is a finite set of well-defined instructions for accomplishing some task which, given an initial state, will terminate in a corresponding recognizable end-state (contrast wi...

Syntax: Syntax, originating from the Greek words συν (sun, meaning ?together?) and ταξις (taxis, meaning sequence/order), can be described as the study of the rules, or "patterned relations" that govern the way the words in a sentence come together. It concerns how di...
