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.
  • Search for a specific skill

Repeat ... times
   

Repeating ... number of times is known as a count controlled loop because you specify exactly how many times the loop will repeat.

Repeat ... times is an example of definite iteration because the number of times the loop repeats is clearly defined.

This example program will repeat the word "Why?" 10 times

for i in range(10): print("Why?")
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { Console.WriteLine("Why?"); }
