An algorithm is merely the sequence of steps taken to solve a problem.
Write a program that compares two different numbers. If number 1 is bigger than number two,
we want the program to output “number 1 is bigger”, otherwise we want them to enter the
number again until number 1 is bigger than number 2.
Num1 ← INPUT “Enter a number”//this is how to to setup a variable.
Num2 ← INPUT “Enter a number”
IF Num1 > Number2
OUTPUT “number 1 is bigger”
ELSE
OUTPUT “number 1 is not bigger than number 2, try again”
Num1 ← INPUT “Enter a number”
Name ← INPUT “Enter a programmer name”
IF Name = “Essa” OR “essa” OR “ESSA”
OUTPUT “great programmer”
IF Name = “Rob” or ELSE
OUTPUT “terrible programmer”
IF {conditional statement} THEN
OUTPUT {statement 1}

To set up an array in pseudocode, you do the following:
Identifier ← [ ]//identifier is name of the array
An alternative method is:
DECLARE Identifier ← [ ]
A 1D array would look like this
DECLARE Names ← [ ]
If you know the size of the array it would be:
DECLARE Names ← [1:30]
A 2D array would look like this:
DECLARE Names ← [[1:30],[1:30]]//arrays begin at index 1 in pseudocode
An array with existing elements would like this:
Names ← [“Jeet”, “Jord”, “Jeremy”]
To add a new name to the array, you would use one of the following:
Name ← USERINPUT “Enter your name”
Names ← Names + Name //add the variable after the array name
Another method you could use is:
Names.APPEND(Name)
