Why use pseudocode and flowcharts in PLC programming?

So, why use pseudocode or flowcharts for designing a program? To begin this discussion, let’s first explore why we would use pseudocode.

Why use pseudocode?

As we established in the previous section, pseudocode is a design technique that allows developers to express their logic in everyday language so that they don’t get bogged down with the programming language’s syntax or grammar. This is a grand explanation of what pseudocode code is, but it fails to address why we should use it:

• Design tool: Above all else, pseudocode is a way for developers to iron out logic and pitfalls in an algorithm or processes(es) without having to worry about programming grammar. In other words, pseudocode is a way of relaying the logic of an algorithm from one developer to another or their future self in an easy-to-understand format.
• Porting tool: Since pseudocode is language-neutral, it is commonly used to take...
