- Pseudocode examples for functions
Suggested pseudocode conventions for functions along with some examples.
Concept
No standard for pseudocode syntax exists. However, there are some commonly followed conventions to help make pseudocode written by one programmer easily understood by another programmer. The following describes a method for using pseudocode for functions that would be understood by programmers. Five concepts are:
- Use a
beginning phrase word to start the function
- Use a
communication phrase word to identify the items being passed into the function
- Use indentation to show the action part of the function
- Use a
communication phrase word to identify the items being passed out of the function
- Use an
ending phrase word to end the function
- Use a
calling phrase word to direct your program to use a fucntion
The following is a suggested outline of function phrase words:
| Item/Purpose |
Starting Phrase Word |
Ending Phrase Word |
| Beginning |
Function |
N/A |
| Communication In |
Pass In: |
none |
| Action |
N/A |
N/A |
| Communication Out |
Pass Out: |
none |
| Ending |
N/A |
Endfunction |
| Calling a Function |
Call: |
none |
Examples
Here are some examples showing functions defined in pseudocode using our conventions as described above.
Pseudocode: function with no parameter passing
Function clear monitor
Pass In: nothingDirect the operating system to clear the monitor
Pass Out: nothingEndfunction
