Advantages of Pseudocode
It is language-independent and can be used by most programmers to express the design in plain
and natural language.
Programmers do not have to think about syntax, they simply have to concentrate on logic.
The focus is on the steps to solve a problem rather than how to use the computer language.
Example 1: Write pseudocode to calculate profit and loss.
Interdisciplinary Learning
Solution:
Program Start
Read Cost price (C.P.)
Read Selling price (S.P.)
If (SP>CP) then
Profit = S.P.-C.P.
Print Profit
Else
Loss= C.P.-S.P.
Print Loss
Program End
Example 2: Write pseudocode to print 'Above average marks' if
Critical Thinking
the average marks in the three subjects are greater than 60 and
'Below average marks' if the average marks are less than or equal
to 60.
Solution:
Program Start
Read marks for subject Num1 (a)
Read marks for subject Num2 (b)
Read marks for subject Num3 (c)
Calculate Sum (S) = a+b+c
Calculate AverageMarks (A) = S/3
If (AverageMarks > 60)
Print (‘Above Average marks’)
Else
Print (‘Below Average marks’)
Program End
American computer scientist 'Margaret Hamilton,' wrote the
computer code which helped to save the Apollo moon landing
mission.
