Basic C Programming - pseudo code

What is pseudo code?

• Pseudo code is a type of coffee

• Pseudo code is a type of encryption method

• Pseudo code is a high-level description of a computer program or algorithm.

• Pseudo code is a programming language

Provide an example of pseudo code for a simple addition operation.

• SET num1 = 5; ADD num2 = 3; SET sum = num1 + num2;

• SET num1 = 5; SET num2 = 3; sum = num1 + num2;

• num1 = 5; num2 = 3; sum = num1 + num2;

• SET num1 = 5; SET num2 = 3; SET sum = num1 + num2;

Explain the importance of using pseudo code in programming.

• Using pseudo code in programming is important because it helps in planning and organizing the logic of a program before actual coding.

• Pseudo code makes the program run faster

• Pseudo code is not necessary in programming

• Pseudo code is only used by beginners

How can pseudo code help in the planning phase of programming?

• Pseudo code is only useful for experienced programmers

• Pseudo code makes the planning phase more complicated

• Pseudo code provides a high-level understanding of the program flow and logic without getting bogged down in syntax details.

• Pseudo code is not relevant in programming

Write pseudo code for finding the maximum of two numbers.

• if num1 == num2: return num1

• if num1 > num2: return num1 else: return num2

• if num1 > num2: return num2

• if num1 < num2: return num1

Discuss the advantages of using pseudo code over actual code.

• Pseudo code is harder to understand than actual code

• Pseudo code provides a high-level description of the algorithm without getting bogged down in syntax details.

• Pseudo code cannot be executed directly

• Pseudo code is not flexible for implementation

Create pseudo code for a loop that prints numbers from 1 to 10.

• for i in range(1, 11):

• if i <= 10: print(i)

• while i <= 10: print(i) i += 1

• print(i) for i in range(1, 11)

Why is pseudo code considered a bridge between human language and programming language?

• Pseudo code is used for decorative purposes in programming

• Pseudo code is only understandable by experienced programmers

• Pseudo code is a fully functional programming language

• Pseudo code combines natural language and programming syntax to represent algorithms in a human-readable format that can be easily translated into actual code.

Illustrate pseudo code for a function that calculates the factorial of a number.

• function factorial(num) { let result = 1; for(let i = 1; i <= num; i++) { result *= i; } return result; }

• function factorial(num) { let result = 1; for(let i = num; i > 0; i--) { result *= i; } return result; }

• function factorial(num) { let result = 1; for(let i = 1; i < num; i++) { result *= i; } return result; }

• function factorial(num) { let result = 0; for(let i = 1; i <= num; i++) { result += i; } return result; }

In what ways can pseudo code aid in debugging and troubleshooting?

• Pseudo code makes debugging harder by introducing unnecessary complexity.

• Pseudo code helps break down complex problems into simpler steps, allowing for easier identification of bugs and issues.

• Pseudo code limits the ability to trace errors in the code.

• Pseudo code does not provide a structured approach to identifying bugs.
