Day 1: Turning Dreams into Code

Today I thought lets start with what seems to be the basic fundamental of everything and this is what most of tech people obsess over yeah yeah its DSA (Data Structure And Algorithm). well, i started with downloading VS Code Studio and of course why would it work smoothly for the first time . I was stuck with that problem for more than 2 hours it just wasn’t able to detect my file as C++ file and run it was a simple hello world program . I was about to give up all this coding journey in 2 hours of it starting this made me question my passion of landing a job . After that i realized i cant afford to give up because of you know what MONEY. Then I tried one last time but with clear mind and viola that thing got set-up perfectly and it worked

I started with Complete C++ DSA course by Shradha Khapra on YouTube i found her playlist easy to understand as a beginner (assuming you know nothing about coding)

What I Learned Today

• what is pseudocode ?

• what is flowchart?

• few small problems and writing their pseudocode

---

Pseudocode: pseudocode is basically a code but more like English rather than an actual programming language so a any programmer irrespective of their programming language would understand what is the solution and they can convert this pseudocode in whichever language they desire.

Flowchart: A flowchart is used to show the flow of the program , making it more visual and easy to understand . This could help a beginners in understanding the solution . This is not majorly used in software industry as one could see this and as time consuming and not that much useful.

Problems (write pseudocode for):

1. Finding the maximum number

2. Find that the given number is even or odd

3. Find the sum of number up to N

4. Is the given number prime or not

5. Finding the factorial of N
