Algorithms, Flowcharts, & Pseudocode

"Just like an architect needs blueprints to build a (a)   , you need flowcharts and pseudocode to build a program."

What is the primary purpose of flowcharts and pseudocode in programming?

• To write the final executable code directly.

• To map out ideas and plan before writing actual code.

• To debug existing programs.

• To translate code into different programming languages.

Similar to ingredients in a recipe, these are used to make a flowchart
