2. Representations

   • Pseudocode
     • There are no syntax rules
     • Pseudocode is a way of writing algorithms and is not a programming code!!!
     • It uses simple English words to describe an algorithm like a very simple programming code
   • Simple English
     • this is a way of writing algorithms that is written in just English so it is easy for everyone to understand
   • Flow Charts
     • This is another way of writing an algorithm
     • It uses simple shapes to display inputs outputs programs etc.
     • They are simple toread and are written using shapes and simple English
