Understanding Algorithms: Flowcharts and Pseudocode in IT Grade 10
Flowcharts and pseudocode are essential tools in programming. A flowchart visually represents algorithms through symbols and shapes, while pseudocode provides a detailed description in natural language. Limiting pseudocode statements to one per line and using proper indentation helps organize program logic effectively. By understanding these concepts, students can express program steps clearly and implement algorithms efficiently.

IT Grade 10 Flowchart and pseudocode Algorithms
Representing algorithms Flow chart A flowchart is the graphical representation of an algorithm using different symbols, shapes and arrows in order to demonstrate a process or program. Pseudocode A detailed description of what a computer program or algorithm must do, expressed in natural language rather than in a programming language. 2
Pseudocode Limit pseudocode statements to one per line. Use initial capitalization for all keywords. Do not write source code. Write your thoughts of what the program should do. List all steps. ... Don't be afraid to use programming structures (IF, THEN, ELSE etc.) Use indentation to show subordination. Example 3
