A developer is planning the logic for a new application and wants to outline the steps of an algorithm in a human-readable format before writing any actual code. Which of the following would be the MOST appropriate tool for this purpose?
Assembly language
A compiled language
Pseudocode
A query language
Pseudocode is the correct choice because it is an informal, high-level description of an algorithm's operating principle. It uses the structural conventions of a programming language but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading. This technique allows a developer to focus on the logic of the algorithm without being constrained by the strict syntax rules of a specific programming language. Compiled, assembly, and query languages all have strict syntax and are used for writing machine-readable code, not for a pre-coding logic outline.
