Why Write Pseudo-code?
Writing pseudo-code should be an important part of every Software Engineers process when solving a problem they haven’t solved before. It is useful as it allows one to write a series of steps or a recipe on how to achieve the desired result.
By laying out the steps to go from point A to point B, I can visualize what materials I need to conduct a Google search on when learning new programming languages, frameworks, and concepts.
Depending on the complexity of the code or algorithm I try to write, some of the steps may need to be drilled down into further sub-steps to solve the smaller problems that are contained within the main problem I’m trying to solve.
As abstract as the concept of writing pseudo-code to solve problems sounds, hopefully this made some sense and I can show how I apply this thinking process throughout the future articles I write.
Thanks for reading!
