What is the definition of: Algorithm
“Fake code. A language-independent, syntax-loose representation of computer code. Allows a programmer to lay out the logic and steps of a problem in a code like way without worrying about the specific syntax of any particular language.”
“The process of separating ideas from specific instances of those ideas at work. Computational structures are defined by their meanings while hiding away the details of how they work."
“A sequence of steps designed to perform a particular task. An algorithm may be constructed to describe the operation of a complete system or to describe a particular part of it.”
“The result of a procedural abstraction is a procedure, not a function. To get a function requires yet another abstraction, which disregards the particular computation method"

What is the definition of: Pseudocode
“Fake code. A language-independent, syntax-loose representation of computer code. Allows a programmer to lay out the logic and steps of a problem in a code like way without worrying about the specific syntax of any particular language.”
“Provides mechanisms for abstracting well-defined procedures or operations as entities. The implementation of the procedure requires several steps to be performed."
“A sequence of steps designed to perform a particular task. An algorithm may be constructed to describe the operation of a complete system or to describe a particular part of it.”
“The reduction of a particular body of data to a simplified representation of the whole. For example, a stack could be implemented as an array and a pointer for the top of the stack.”

“Provides mechanisms for abstracting well-defined procedures or operations as entities. The implementation of the procedure requires several steps to be performed."
“A sequence of steps designed to perform a particular task. An algorithm may be constructed to describe the operation of a complete system or to describe a particular part of it.”
“Data which has been specifically identified for use in testing a computer program.”
