Just like with making decisions in a Flowcharts, you can easily make decisions with Pseudocode. Decisions once again need to be in a simple yes/no or true/false style format. Remember, computers are stupid, so we must keep things simple for them. To create a decision, we typically need our condition, and then a body. Since…
If using one variable in pseudocode is good, then using multiple variables is (probably better). Don’t add variables you don’t need. As it will make it more complex than necessary. Always ask yourself, what is this variable here for. Everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler. Albert Einstein To add…
Using variables is a way to greatly enhance what your code can do because it allows you to change a given value every time your code runs, or the code that would come out of this pseudocode, without you having to go back to the code to make changes. Defining a Variable To define a…
The best way to learn how to write pseudocode is to simply start to write it. Luckily it is very simple to do. Now with pseudocode, some people like to write a start/end or begin/end, just like with a flowchart. This isn’t required, however, it can make things more clear, and you can see an…
We’ve looked at Flowcharts as a way to visually show and describe the steps of an algorithm to solve a problem. It does a great job of that, yet there are two issues. The first is that some people are not visually inclined. They don’t care for the visuals, and feel it gets in the…
A network administrator, also known as a network admin, plays a critical role in managing and maintaining an organization’s computer network infrastructure. Their day-to-day activities can vary depending on: However, here are some common tasks and responsibilities that network administrators typically perform. Note, that some of these activities, such as user support, network monitoring, and…
Working with a flowchart can help you describe how you want to solve a problem, and as we’ve said before, it doesn’t even have to be a coding problem. This is the power of the flowchart. However, up until now, we’ve looked at flowcharts as individual components. We perform a series of steps. We make…
There are often several reasons why we might use, and or define a pre-defined process our self. First, it is that there is some code being provided by a third party. This could be a library you found online to help you out, something that the language provides for you, or even a vendor providing…
