Structure of a psuedocode

Question 1

Define the term ‘variable’

Answer 1

Variables are the names you give to computer memory
locations which are used to store values in a computer program. The
value that is stored by a variable can change.

Question 2

Define a constant

Answer 2

A constant is a name you give to a computer memory
locations which is used to store values in a computer program. The
value of a constant cannot change during the program’s execution.
Thus, as its name implies – the value is constant.

Question 3

Describe the typical pattern found in psuedocode algorithms

Answer 3

request input
accept input
process input
store results of the process
display results
