Why You Should Be Writing Pseudo Code
Pseudo code is just commented out text where you plan what you’re going to build with code before you actually write the real code.
Writing pseudo code allows you to get your thoughts in writing and can also help you actually think through what you’re doing without juggling it all in your head at once.
It’s nice to be able to refer to it while writing real code and it helps you stay organized with your thoughts when building systems.
You can start with a general idea of what you need to implement and then in each method or script break it down step by step.
After you finish writing the real code you can delete the pseudo code or write actual comments if needed.
It’s best to use descriptive names for variables and methods and keep them consistent between classes and within parameters so there’s no guessing what is going on, many times it eliminates the need for comments in your code.
