This website aims to give a quick reference for VB.NET, Python, C# and pseudocode and is aimed primarily at teachers & students working towards a GCSE 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.
Each exam board has published a document saying how they'll write pseudocode in their exams. The whole idea of syntax (a set of rules) for pseudocode is silly - it's not designed to be a programming language that is run by a computer. With this in mind, all exam boards state that you don't have to follow the syntax for 'their' version of pseudocode when you write out your own algorithms, but you should be able to understand their version of pseudocode when reading an algorithm in an exam.
Each skill has example code in VB.NET, Python, C# and Pseudocode for Edexcel, Eduqas and OCR GCSE.
If you know what you're looking for, use the search bar above the categories list.
If you want your code to make a decision you'll need an IF statement.
This example asks the user how old they are and checks that they've entered a number bigger than 0
If you want your code to choose between two possibilities you'll need an IF ... ELSE statement.
This example asks the user what their name is. If they answer the question it says hello. If they don't answer the question it displays an error message.
