Pseudocode

Advantages of Pseudocode:

• Easier to translate into a high level programming language
• No pressure of syntax (grammar) of the coding
• Partially resembles standard English so it's easier for programmers to understand

Disadvantages of Pseudocode:

• Can't immediately spot errors in coding such as logic errors
• Runtime errors don't exist in Pseudocode

Flowcharts

Advantages of Flowcharts

• Not ideal for big programs (only for subprograms)
• Shapes may not be clear or obvious to what they are in terms of their functions
