In computer science, pseudocode is a description of the steps in an algorithm using a mix of conventions of programming languages with informal, usually self-explanatory, notation of actions and conditions.

Control flow

if ... then ... [else]
while ... do ...
repeat ... until ...
for ... do ...

Method call

mehtod (arg [,arg...])

Return value

return <expression>

Code example

Given an array A of integers and we need to return the maximum.

max <- -∞
for i <- 0 to n - 1 do
	if A[i] > max then
		max <- A[i]
	return max
