Computer Science / Unit 2 CS 0050 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Pseudocode and the Flowchart
Captions available
The idea
Pseudocode outlines an algorithm's logic in ordered written steps mixing plain language with programming concepts; a flowchart shows the same flow of decisions as a diagram.
In practice
A homework algorithm reads as numbered lines on one page and as boxes and arrows on the next.
Where people slip
One notation per course — pseudocode is this course's default.
