    PSEUDOCODE

                     Pseudocode is a simple way to describe what a robot should do before writing the

                     actual code. It uses plain words instead of symbols, so anyone can understand the
                     steps.

                     Let’s say you want a robot to clean the floor. To program the robot, you need to give
                     it the steps in the correct order.

                     Here’s how the steps might look like in pseudocode:

                     Start

                     Move forward

                     Turn left

                     Sweep the floor

                     Turn right

                     Move forward

                     Stop

                     With pseudocode, you can easily plan what the robot should do and later, you can
                     turn these simple instructions into real code.

                          Why is pseudocode written in plain words instead of symbols?

                      ECOTECH       Robots are being used to monitor ocean pollution, collecting trash and studying
                      ENERGY        marine life to protect underwater ecosystems.

                       «   A sequence means doing things in the right order, step by step.
                       «   Robots need to follow the right order to do their job properly.

                       «   A loop helps the robot repeat the same actions automatically, so you don’t need to tell it
                           every time.
