Pseudocode is a way of expressing a computer algorithm using natural language combined with some programming-like syntax. It’s not tied to any specific programming language, making it more understandable to non-programmers while still conveying the logic of an algorithm to programmers. Pseudocode often resembles the structure of the actual code but is written in a more human-readable format, making it easier to plan and understand algorithms before translating them into a specific programming language. It’s commonly used in software development to outline the steps of an algorithm or program before implementation.
