Pseudocode may refer to any of the following:

  1. Alternatively called p-code, pseudocode is a computer programming language that resembles plain English that cannot be compiled or executed, but explains a resolution to a problem.

  2. P-Code is also short for packed code, a proprietary language developed by Microsoft. It helps developers create smaller DLLs and application files, by compiling Visual Basic and Visual C++ code into machine code. Since the introduction of the .NET framework Microsoft’s P-Code is no longer used.
