Pseudo Code:
Pseudocode (pronounced SOO-doh-kohd) is a detailed yet readable description of what
a computer program or algorithm must do,
Expressed in a formally-styled natural language rather than in a programming
language.
Pseudocode is sometimes used as a detailed step in the process of developing
a program.
Pseudocode is not an actual programming language. So it cannot be compiled into an
executable program.

Advantages:
1. Improves the readability of any approach. It’s one of the best approaches to start
implementation of an algorithm.
2. Acts as a bridge between the program and the algorithm or flowchart. Also works as
should do, hence making the code construction phase easier for the programmer.
Limitations:
Examples :
1. Start
2. Read number
3. If number > 0 then
Print “Number is Positive”
Else
Print “Number is Negative”
4. Stop
