What is 'Pseudocode'?

Pseudocode is like a rough sketch for a painting. It's an informal way of writing out your logic using plain English instead of strict coding syntax.

It's very useful for planning. You can focus on the logic without worrying about where the commas and brackets go. I still use it all the time to map out complex systems.

If you can write your solution in pseudocode, translating it to a language like Python or JavaScript becomes much easier. It's a great habit to develop.
