It is commonly used in textbooks and scientific publications to document algorithms and in planning of software and other algorithms. The purpose of using pseudocode is that it is easier for people to understand than conventional programming language code, and that it is an efficient and environment-independent description of the key principles of an algorithm.
The programming language is augmented with natural language description details, where convenient, or with compact mathematical notation. It typically omits details that are essential for machine understanding of the algorithm, such as variable declarations and language-specific code. Pseudocode often uses structural conventions of a normal programming language, but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading. In computer science, pseudocode is a plain language description of the steps in an algorithm or another system.
Informal high-level description of the operation of a computer program or other algorithm
