   What is pseudocode? Pseudocode, in the simplest explanation, is a list of instructions to solve a coding problem. Pseudocode needs to make sense for our human brain later that pseudocode can be written in code so the computer can understand the instructions written.

   Pseudocode is quite a useful practice for beginner programmers to help simplify a coding problem. At some point during interviews you will be given a coding problem and asked to pseudocode a solution. This is basically to show how well you can organize and communicate your thought process with the people you will potentially be working with.

   A good way to start practicing pseudocode is to write detail step-by-step instructions of everyday tasks. Let's practice writing the steps on how to make a PB&J sandwich, remember to be as detailed as possible: from gathering ingredients and utensils to applying PB&J on each slice of bread. I came up with 8 steps to this task, you probably came up with more or less and that is OK. The answer does not need to be right, pseudocoding is just a way to gather your thoughts and organize your solution.
