AP Pseudocode
Definition
AP Pseudocode is a simplified programming language used to represent algorithms and solutions in a format that closely resembles actual code. It allows students to express their ideas without focusing on specific syntax.
Analogy
Think of AP Pseudocode as a recipe card that outlines the steps for cooking a dish, but instead of using cooking terms, it uses coding instructions. Just like following a recipe helps you create a delicious dish, using AP Pseudocode helps you write clear and organized algorithms.
