This guide provides essential material and syntax rules for writing pseudocode, serving as a helper reference rather than a comprehensive learning tool. It emphasizes that there is no standardized method for writing pseudocode, as different teachers may use varying approaches. The focus is on logic building rather than strict syntax, preparing students for formal programming languages in 'A levels'.

PSEUDOCODE CONSTRUCT GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
WHAT DOES THIS GUIDE CONTAINS?

This guide contains essential material and syntax rules for writing pseudocode. Example resources
at the end of document also explains the common type of questions that appears in CIE. However, it
should be remembered that this is not an extensive guide for learning pseudocode and should only
be used as a helper reference guide.

Also, please remember that there is no set standard of writing pseudocode and each
teacher/institute uses their own rules to develop pseudocode. For example, some teachers might
use the keyword SET or DECLARE for variable declaration, others might not even use it. Both the
approaches are correct as CIE syllabus (year 2016) does not define any particular method of doing
so.

This guide only covers a specific set of commands & methodology as taught by the authors in their
own schools and does not cover all possible alternatives. Students should not get confuse if any
particular teacher does not use the same syntax rules as defined in this guide.

At the end, remember that pseudocode is all about logic building and not syntax writing! However,
these rules will help you writing good code when you move on to formal programming languages in
‘A levels’.

Go ahead and get started!
