The amount of people nitpicking about the brand of pseudocode or arguing the question is tricky reminds me of some coworkers, and not the good kind.

If you belong to the above category, try to learn some new programming language / read about some algorithm descriptions (not implementation) and go out take some sun. The question is super intuitive if you're not stuck to a single paradigm or language.

i'm of the belief that pseudocode should be real code that actually runs. I.E. something like bash. A scripting language.

Starting off a noob programmer in Bash... Pure evil

The first language I tried to learn as a kid was Batch scripting...

(edit: and then some VBScript along the way! Eventually worked my way to C++ though)
