What is it?

Pseudocode is an informal high-level description of the operating principle of a computer program or other algorithm. It uses the structural conventions of a programming language, but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading. This is a useful method of describing the function of an element to non IT literate individuals. Using structured english the stages of the operation are detailed.
