//make sure that all identifiers meaning constants, lists/arrays and variables using camel case

Age = 14

Age ← 14

First_Name ← “Name”

Last_Name ← “Last Name”

Names_Collected ← INPUT “enter your last name”

Last_Name ← Names_Collected

Equal to - = //in python it would be ==, one = sign in python be the equivalent of ← assigning a
piece of data

An algorithm is merely the sequence of steps taken to solve a problem.

Write a program that compares two different numbers. If number 1 is bigger than number two,
we want the program to output “number 1 is bigger”, otherwise we want them to enter the
number again until number 1 is bigger than number 2.
Num1 ← INPUT “Enter a number”//this is how to to setup a variable.
Num2 ← INPUT “Enter a number”
IF Num1 > Number2
OUTPUT “number 1 is bigger”
ELSE
OUTPUT “number 1 is not bigger than number 2, try again”
Num1 ← INPUT “Enter a number”

Name ← INPUT “Enter a programmer name”


IF Name = “Essa” OR “essa” OR “ESSA”
OUTPUT “great programmer”
IF Name = “Rob” or ELSE
OUTPUT “terrible programmer”

IF {conditional statement} THEN


OUTPUT {statement 1}
ELSE
OUTPUT {statement 2}
ENDIF

INPUT House “Enter your house value”
IF House > 50 000 THEN
Tax← House * 0.010
ELSE IF House > 100 000 THEN
Tax ← House * 0.015
ELSE IF House > 200 000 THEN
Tax← House * 0.020

Tax← House * 0.020

Tax ← 0

INPUT X “Enter your value: ”

WHILE X != 0 THEN

X -= 1
OUTPUT N

To set up an array in pseudocode, you do the following:

Identifier ← [ ]//identifier is name of the array

An alternative method is:

DECLARE Identifier ← [ ]

A 1D array would look like this

DECLARE Names ← [ ]

If you know the size of the array it would be:

DECLARE Names ← [1:30]


A 2D array would look like this:

DECLARE Names ← [[1:30],[1:30]]//arrays begin at index 1 in pseudocode

An array with existing elements would like this:

Names ← [“Jeet”, “Jord”, “Jeremy”]

To add a new name to the array, you would use one of the following:
Name ← USERINPUT “Enter your name”
Names ← Names + Name //add the variable after the array name

Another method you could use is:

Names.APPEND(Name)
