Pseudocode is an informal high-level description of the operating principle of an algorithm. Flowchart is a diagrammatic representation that illustrates a solution model to a given problem.

Flowchart is graphical. Pseudocode is not.

Pseudocode is the process where the language will be translated into software codes. The flowchart, on the other hand, will show the process that needs to be followed with shapes and colors to make the data flow of the program easier to understand. So basically, the flowchart helps to simplify and understand the problem, whereas pseudocode is a method of developing an algorithm.

Pseudocode is not a graphical representation of a solution. Flowchart is a graphical representation of a solution.

Answer given ny artificial intelligence: Pseudocode (pronounced SOO-doh-kohd) is a detailed yet readable description of what a computer program or algorithm must do, expressed in a formally-styled natural language rather than in a programming language. Pseudocode is sometimes used as a detailed step in the process of developing a program. A flowchart is a diagram that depicts a process, system or computer algorithm. They are widely used in multiple fields to document, study, plan, improve and communicate often complex processes in clear, easy-to-understand diagrams

1.flowchart- an algorithm consisting of geometrical shape that are connected by flowlines. 2.Pseudocode-a semiformal, English-like language with a limited vocabulary that can be used to design an algorithm.

Flowchart is the graphical representation of algorithm. While pseudocode is the logical(program-like) representation of algorithm

The main difference between Pseudocode and Flowchart is that pseudocode is an informal high-level description of an algorithm while flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm. ... Moreover, it is important to select the best algorithm to solve it after analyzing the time complexity and space complexity.

Flowcharting has been in using many years and helps give visual clarification it what you want to accomplish by writing a program. Even the great minds in history use ordinary people to to help solve their complex problems. Each and everyone one of us do not know everything. Others exposed to different knowledge are our solutions to our complex problems.

These are not separate concepts - pseudo-code refers to any approximation of a programmatic solution to a problem, you may express this in writing EG: while x is less than 10 add 1 to x print out x or you could express this graphically with a flow chart. You may choose to use a particular standard when you write your flowchart in which case you may find that you have to be more precise in your representation of the underlying code, nevertheless it is an approximation of the actual code that will get written. pseudo code has the advantage of being independent of a specific language, so it should be used to convey an idea widely. It also has the advantage of being easier to write because you don't have to satisfy the restrictions of the syntax of a language, so it can should also be used when you want to express an idea quickly.
