Question

How to write Pseudo-code? My question is really how much detail there should be in the algorithm. I mean, do I include the formulas, too?

Here is a sample pseudo-code I wrote for a program that asks if a number is even or odd.

Display "Enter number: "
Get input = number
Divide number by 2
If remainder is equal to 0 then display that number is even.
If remainder is greater than 0 the display that number is odd.

Answer 1

I'm not even sure if there is an "official" way to do pseudocode, but this is the way they do it in my Numerical methods textbook.

Output("Enter number")
Input(number)
remainder = number mod 2
if remainder = 1 then
{
Output ("Your number is odd")
}
else
{
Output ("Your number is even")
}

Answer 2

Psudo = Fake/Simulated
Code = Computer programming

So it is a fake or simulated program. Like Mandre's cat says, it is not some official thing with one way to do it.
