Vocabulary

pseudocoding - Literally, fake code! Writing out steps to solve a problem or achieve functionality, without writing actual code terms of art - Technical vocabulary, the words and terms that accurately describe code

So what is pseudocoding?

One of the greatest tools in your developer toolbelt is pseudocoding.

Pseudocoding is the secretly-complex skill of writing down what you want your code to do, without writing any code.

Paired Practice Time!

The best way to get comfortable with these methods is to practice them, so we will!

You'll be with a partner in a breakout room to work through some practice problems. Assign one person to be the driver and the other to be the navigator. It might be helpfulful to switch these roles off and on so you have the opportunity to be both!

Instructions

• Start with #1
• Have the driver fork a copy of the REPL
• Work through problems together (you'll have 15 minutes for each REPL)

4. Wait for me to tell you next steps.

DON'T PANIC if you're stuck! We'll review as a whole class at the end!
