Raise your hand if you use pseudocode before you make any program.

I have been known to do flowcharting from time to time. I like the pretty pictures.

You guys are nerds :P

Flowcharts are pretty :D

I bet we could benefit from them, my main problem is the table structure it usually works for the start of it, then when I decide that "it would be cool if it also had..." then I realize I would need to redo the whole table structure which obviously can cause issues. I do not mean "adding a column" either I mean like changing everything... haha

What is the point of pseudocode? I think it's a waste of time. It's almost like writing the same code twice.

With that in mind, no I do not use pseudo code. :)

Hahaha...

@ chili5 it is kind of like writing the same code twice... I agree. However, it all depends on current knowledge level IMO. I, for instance, am a noob and I learn Pseudocode first. Pseudocode is extremely easy to write. So I write the pseudocode first as a training wheels type thing. It's MUCH easier for me to concentrate on syntax (because the logic is already done) when I write, rather than concentrate on the logic and the syntax at the same time. Remember, the syntax isn't second nature to me yet.

yup thats true i agree with sdavis2702, Pseudocode makes things easier
specially when dealing with complicated problem, you ant jump into coding because you will end-up like a blind man with a gun.
i think Pseudocode is extremely important in solving big problems

I actually took some existing code and flowcharted it out while trying to figure out where to add some new logic. I found where to add the logic AND a subtle bug. *sigh*
