To this end, if you do want to develop your skills in describing
algorithms, you might want to consider reading rather than writing
pseudocode. For example, in textbooks, see if you can find a good clear
step-by-step description of an algorithm (ie, pseudocode) and then see
if you can work out what makes it good.
