Document Summary

Pseudocode algorithms are used to solve a problem before you ever write a single program statement. Clarify problem that needs solving -> all thought. When you think you have the problem figured out (before sitting at computer) then you write pseudocode. Simpler way to identify the logic to solve a problem. When you believe you have a good solution, then you write a program. By the time you start writing the program, you already know you"ve got it figured out. No universal computer language exists that is the best language to solve all computational problems. Pseudocode it the tool that is adaptable to many computer languages. Ex: display hello world is the pseudocode but this can be done in all different languages. When the problem solution is implemented in a programming language this pseudocode statement is translated to the exact syntax of the computer language . Demonstrates the one size fits all value of pseudocode as a problem solving tool.
