Pseudo Code:

Pseudo code is another tool used for planning a program’s logic. It is an alternative to flowchart. Unlike flowchart, it doesn’t use arrows and symbols but contains a precise syntax and necessary details of the original code.

It is easy to convert a Pseudo code to a programming language as its contents resemble the original code. Moreover, pseudo codes are easier to modify and involves less time and effort than draw an equivalent flowchart. However, there are no standard rules for using pseudo code due to lack of standardization. Beginners prefer to use flowcharts in comparison of pseudo code.

Pseudo codes are made of three basic logical structures. These include sequential logic, selection logic and iteration logic.
