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.

« Pseudocode uses plain words instead of symbols, so anyone can understand the steps.
