Is writing code out still considered an algorithmic representation?
Wikipedia: Algorithm Representation (since programming style is pretty much consensus-based) EDIT: Ok, so let me make a few points clear: • The test asked for pseudo-code, which we never really “defined” in class; we just wrote out English for our algorithms. • It’s a Java class, and wrote out the entire solution in a Java method, along with comments. All of this was hand-written, and took longer to write out than pseudo-code. I thought it would be more clear. • I normally wouldn’t make an issue about such things, but it’s the difference between an A and a C, and I have a scholarship riding on my exams. • Finally, I’m making this post for two reasons: 4.1 I want to show what the modern programming community thinks about pseudo-code and algorithmic representation. 4.2 I want to know what’s acceptable in the “real world”; I’ve been programming for some time, but I want to be able to contribute to open-source projects soon, and I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. (Although I’m pretty s
