1. PSEUDOCODE
What is THAT ?? _at_

• Pseudocode consists of short, English phrases
  used to explain specific tasks within a program's
  algorithm (The algorithm is a set of precise
  instructions specifying how to carry out a
  specific task.
• Pseudocode should not include keywords in any
  specific computer languages. It should be written
  as a list of consecutive phrases.
• You should not use flowcharting symbols but you
  can draw arrows to show looping processes.
• Indentation can be used to show the logic in
  pseudocode as well.
• One programmer should be able to take another
  programmer's pseudocode and generate a program
  based on that pseudocode.

Why PSEUDOCODE is necessary?
The programming process is a complicated one. You
must first understand the program specifications,
then organize your thoughts and create the
program. You must break the main tasks that must
be accomplished into smaller ones in order to be
able to eventually write fully developed code.
Writing pseudocode WILL save you time later
during the construction testing phase of a
program's development.

How to write PSEUDOCODE?

• Make a list of the main tasks that must be
  accomplished on a piece of scratch paper.
• Then, focus on each of those tasks, try to break
  each main task down into very small tasks that
  can each be explained with a short phrase. There
  may eventually be a one-to-one correlation
  between the lines of pseudocode and the lines of
  the code that you write after you have finished
  pseudocoding.

Write a program that obtains two integer numbers
from the user. It will print out the sum of those
numbers.
