Pseudocode is a -level description of a computer program that uses plain English and simple constructs to outline the and algorithm of the program. It is not an actual programming language, but rather a method of outlining the steps in solving a or writing a program in a format that is easy to understand. Pseudocode allows programmers to plan and their programs before actually writing the code. One of its pros is that it does not require knowledge of any specific programming language, making it accessible for beginners. However, it is not executable on a computer, and may lack precision and syntax rules, leading to .
Program code refers to the actual implementation of a computer program using specific programming language syntax and rules, involving writing lines of code that a can understand and execute. When program code is executed, it needs to be converted into machine code in order for the machine to process the instructions. Depending on the programming language, this is the job of either a translator, compiler or .
Written of algorithms outline the purpose and functionality of a system, which aids designers and programmers in moving on with the next step of the design process. Recently, the development of Generative AI chatbots has made it possible for programmers to type in written descriptions of an algorithm, prompting the AI to produce executable code that matches the intentions of the description.
