Discussion on: If there are LayMan's Terms in English, is there "LayMan's Code"?

It is though? It's plain language that emulates sequential / procedural programming.

Following a recipe is a good example of pseudocode: it's step by step instructions on how to bake a cake, for example.

Computer's don't need to compile it, it's human readable, and if you follow the algorithm with the right inputs (ingredients & equipment) you get the right output (cake).
