    This document provides an introduction to pseudocode through a series of exercises. Students are asked to write pseudocode to describe the steps needed for a minion character to draw a square and then move around a game board collecting bananas. The pseudocode uses basic programming concepts like numbered steps, conditional statements, and keywords to describe the algorithms without using a specific programming language.

    An  Introduction  to  Pseudocode  


    Workbook  
     
     
     
     

       

    Name:  ________________________________________________________  
     

     
    =  90  degrees  
    100

    TASK  1  =  How  do  you  get  Minion  Stuart  to  draw  the  square?  What  is  the  sequence  of  actions  to  move?

    8  
     
     

    You  have  written  the  algorithm  to  show  the  list  of  instructions  and  you  have  
    written  it  in  pseudocode  =  numbered  list  of  instructions.  
     

    Key  words  =  Algorithm  and  Pseudocode     1  |  P a g e  


     
     

    Can  you  write  the  Pseudocode  (the  sequence  of  actions)  to  move  Minion  Stuart  through  the  
    squares  to  collect  the  bananas?    

    Hint  :  Remember  to  pick  up  the  bananas  not  just  go  over  them  

    You  need  to  write  the  list  of  instructions  in  NOTEPAD  remembering  to  number  
    the  actions  

    Extension  –  Can  you  add  a  ‘question  to  say  if  the  minion  reaches  a  banana?  

    Key  words  =  Algorithm  and  Pseudocode     2  |  P a g e  


     
     

    Can  you  write  the  pseudocode  to  get  Minion  Stuart  to  move  through  the  squares  collecting  
    bananas  NOT  apples  and  use  a  question  to  determine  what  action  he  does?    

    Hint  =  you  will  need  to  use  an  IF  question.  

    You  need  to  write  the  list  of  instructions  in  NOTEPAD  remembering  to  number  
    the  actions  and  INDENT  the  answer  to  the  question  (IF)  

    Example:  

    1. Move  Minion  Stuart  3  squares  


    2. IF  you  reach  a  banana  
    a. THEN  Pick  it  up  
    3. Move  Minion  Stuart  down  1  square  
     

    Key  words  =  Algorithm  and  Pseudocode     3  |  P a g e  


     
    Standard Key Words to use in Pseudo Code

    Technique Example
    Selection/Conditional Statement IF condition THEN
    true alternative
    ELSE
    false alternative
    ENDIF

    Iteration/Loops FOR i to/in …


    statements to carry out
    END FOR

    WHILE condition THEN


    statements to carry out
    END WHILE

    REPEAT statement UNTILL …


    Operators > Greater Than
    < Less Than
    >= Greater than or equal to
    <= Less than or equal to
    == Equal To
    = Equals
    != not equal to
    Input and Output INPUT….

    OUTPUT…
    PROCEDURE name
    Function/Procedure
    END PROCEDURE

    FUNTION name

    END FUNTION
     

    Key  words  =  Algorithm  and  Pseudocode     4  |  P a g e  


     
     

    Finally:  
     

    Can  you  tell  me  in  your  own  words  what  pseudocode  is?  
     

    Please  complete  the  following  self-­‐assessment:  

    Found   Completed   Found  


    Question  
    Task  Easy   OK   Task  Hard  
         
    Wrote  a  series  of  actions  to  make  a  square  

    Wrote  the  pseudocode  to  move  Minion  Stuart  around  collecting        


    bananas  
    Wrote  the  pseudocode  to  move  Minion  Stuart  around  collecting        
    bananas  NOT  apples  by  using  a  question  
     

    Level   Descriptor   Tick  


    3   Plan  a  sequence  of  instructions  and  present  the  sequence  in  a  list    
    Think  through  the  algorithm  and  use  pseudocode  to  plan  this  out  allowing  the  final  format  to  
    4    
    be  read  easily  before  programming  
    Analyse  and  present  the  algorithm  for  the  task,  refine  the  sequence  by  adding  the  IF  question.  
    5    
    Reflect  on  the  pseudocode  created  to  better  prepare  for  future  tasks.    
    Independently  wrote  the  pseudocode  for  moving  the  minion  around  the  board  collecting  
    6    
    bananas  and  not  apples,  using  IF  appropriately.  
    Be  able  to  test  the  different  pseudocode  created,  with  peer  assessment  as  you  are  developing  
    7    
    them,  reflect  on  the  results  and  then  improve  them  
     

    Thank you from Mrs
