Pseudocode is a high-level description of an algorithm. Therefore, it is best to avoid using language-specific terms or lower-level expressions and structures. The goal of pseudocode is to describe an algorithm in such way that it can be implemented in any language (as much as possible).
For instance, avoid using terms like class
, implements
, void
, Override
, etc.
Although (almost) any pseudocode you write will be technically valid, you should try to follow a structured syntax, may it be you own or a renowned one. Take a look at Wikipedia's page, and inspire from this!
Raw example:
PROCEDURE someAlgorithm(number: Integer)
number <- number + 42
IF number > 50
number -> DISPLAY
END IF
END PROCEDURE
