Is pseudcode useful ?

Question

I've seen it a lot on the internet but I cant really think of anything that makes it useful and I just wanted to know someone else's opinion

Answer 1

At the interview for the job I currently have I was asked to solve a question in a language I didn't know very well (SQL), so they said to answer with pseudocode. Its purpose generally is to make the process of a code readable to humans rather than computers, but it was also useful for me to show that I understood the logic behind the code even if I didn't know the correct syntax.
