What is "pseudocode"

The Pseudocode is a generic way of writing an algorithm, using a simple language with no need to know the syntax of any programming language.

Pseudocode basically employs an intermediate language between the natural language and a programming language to describe algorithms.

Computer science books often use pseudocode to illustrate their examples, so that all programmers can understand them (regardless of the language they use).
