By the end of today’s lesson;• All of you will understand the purpose of

pseudo code and flow charts (D-E)• Most of you will be able to write some

clear pseudo code and be able to translate others work (B-C)

• Some of you will add complicated functions into their pseudo code to make it complete advanced skills (A*-A)

Learning outcomes

BBBIT

What is pseudo code?

This is when you write you ideas for a program in plain English to give you a good idea of how to structure your coding.

PSEUDO CODE

BBBIT PSEUDO CODEIf student's grade is greater than or equal to 60

Print "passed" else

Begin one's move. Throw the dice. Move the number of spaces on the board shown on the dice. If the token landed on "Go to Jail,"

then go there immediately. Else if the token landed on "Chance" or "Community Chest,"

then draw a card and follow its instructions. Else

Walk towards stationEndWhile train is not at station

Wait for trainEndGet on train
