Pseudocode is a simplified programming language that uses plain English to outline the logic of a program. It helps programmers plan and organize their code before writing it in an actual programming language.
Think of pseudocode as a recipe for cooking. Just like a recipe outlines the steps and ingredients needed to make a dish, pseudocode outlines the steps and logic needed to create a program.
