Introduction

This website aims to give a quick reference for VB.NET, Python and C# and pseudocode and is aimed primarily at teachers & students working towards a GCSE or A Level in Computer Science

VB.NET, Python and C# are programming languages designed to be understood and followed by computers. Pseudocode is not a programming language: it's written to be understood by humans so that they can turn it into any programming language.

Top Tips:

  • Explore the different categories of skills at the top of this page
    Each skill has example code in Python, C#. You can also enable VB.NET and Pseudocode for OCR GCSE if you'd find that useful.

Choose a random number
   

Computers can't think for themselves - they can only follow instructions., so getting them to choose a number that is truely random is not easy. Thankfully, most programming languages have a function that will choose a number for you that appears to be chosen at random.

This example generates a random integer between 0 and 10 and saves it into a variable called r

# do this once, at the start of your code import random ' store a random number between 0 and 10 r = random.randint(0, 10)
// do this once, at the start of your code Random rnd = new Random(); // store a random number between 0 and 10 int r = rnd.Next(0, 10);
