Question 13 • Introduction to Information Technology - EL3701
A programmer is responsible for solving a problem and making a presentation that includes his solution. He does not have much room to show the steps, so he uses mostly words and a few symbols. For this presentation he decides to use
Answer
A
a flowchart because pseudocode is harder to write and understand.
B
pseudocode because it gives a summary of the process with concise words and symbols.
C
a flowchart because it requires special training to understand.
D
pseudocode because it uses pre-defined shapes to show the steps.
Explanation
Pseudocode describes the steps of a solution using concise words and symbols, so it fits a presentation with limited space. A flowchart uses shapes and arrows to show steps visually, which is not the approach described. Therefore, “pseudocode because it gives a summary of the process with concise words and symbols” is correct.
