Compare pseudocode and flowcharts for designing computer programs, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Pseudocode

Advantages of Pseudocode: Easier to translate into a high level programming language No pressure of syntax (grammar) of the coding Partially resembles standard English so it's easier for programmers to understand

Disadvantages of Pseudocode: Can't immediately spot errors in coding such as logic errors Runtime errors don't exist in Pseudocode

FlowchartsAdvantages of Flowcharts Focuses on the logic of the program Displays the manipulation (and flow) of data easily

Disadvantages of Flowcharts Not ideal for big programs (only for subprograms) Shapes may not be clear or obvious to what they are in terms of their functions
