Pseudocode and Flowchart

Pseudocode

Pseudocode is a detailed yet readable description of what an algoritm must do, expressed in a formally-styled natural language rather than in a programming language. Pseudocode is used as an initial step in the process of deolping a program. It Provides programmers a detailed template for writing instruction in a specific programming language.

The advantages of using pseudocode are :

1. It is easier and faster to write as it uses English like statements
2. It does not need to be rewritten if any changes are made because each step is independent and may be modified without altring thr other step.
3. It can be converted to a program using any programming language.

Disadvantages of using pseudocode are :

1. Pseudocode does not provide a graphical representation of an algoritm, therefore it might be difficult to understand the complex logic in a pseudocode.
2. Pseudocode depicting too many nested condition may be difficult to understand

Flowchart

Flowchart is a graphical representation of an algoritm. It consistn of a set of symbols. Each symbol represents a specifickind of activity depicted in the algoritm.
