Pseucode is a way to express what your code should do, without using a particular language’s syntax.

In our assignment,  To the water, for instance, pictured below:

We provide the students with the following Pseudocode

instantiate/create Pam at 0,0
  Begin loop while pam is not water ahead
    pam waddle
  end loop
pam goes around water 
pam  waddles to fish
pam grabs the fish

As you can see, there is no Python syntax included in that snippet. Instead, we are expressing what the code –that you the student–should write!

 

 

 

The key to our pseudocode above is that you don’t need to know python or even how Penjee works. You can read the pseucode and understand what it means.
