Description

PSeInt is the abbreviation of PSeudocode Interpreter, an educational tool created in Argentina, used mainly by students to learn the basics of programming and the development of logic. It is a very popular software of its kind and is widely used in universities in Latin America and Spain.

It uses pseudocode for the solution of algorithms.

Purpose of PSeInt

PSeInt is designed to assist students who start in the construction of computer algorithms or programs. The pseudocode is usually used as the first contact to introduce basic concepts such as the use of control structures, expressions, variables, etc., without having to deal with the particularities of the syntax of a real language. This software aims to facilitate the beginner the task of writing algorithms in this pseudolanguage by presenting a set of aids and assistance, and also provide some additional tools that help you find errors and understand the logic of the algorithms.
