Pseudocode – Examined Components

Font Style and Size  

- Use a monospaced (fixed‑width) font such as Courier New.  

- Font size remains consistent throughout.  

Indentation  

- 4 spaces indent lines to show they are contained within a previous statement.  

- If a statement continues onto another line, continuation lines are indented by 2 spaces.  

Case  

- Keywords are written in UPPERCASE (e.g., `IF`, `REPEAT`, `PROCEDURE`).  

- Identifiers use mixed case (camelCase or PascalCase), with uppercase letters marking new words (e.g., `NumberOfPlayers`).  

- Meta‑variables (symbols to be substituted) are enclosed in angled brackets `< >`, similar to Backus‑Naur Form.  

Lines and Line Numbering  

- Line numbers are placed to the left of pseudocode, clearly separated from statements.  

- Numbers are consecutive, unless skipped to indicate missing code.  

- Each statement line is numbered.  

- Continuation lines are not numbered.  

Comments  

- Comments begin with two forward slashes `//`.  

- A comment continues until the end of the line.  

- For multi‑line comments, each line begins with `//`.
