Difference Between Algorithm and Pseudocode
In mathematics and computer science,
an algorithm is an effective method
expressed as a finite list of
well-defined instructions for
calculating a function. Algorithms are
used for calculation, data processing,
and automated reasoning.
Algorithms can be described in various ways, from pure mathematical formulas to complex graphs, more times than not, without pseudocode.
Pseudocode describes how you would implement an algorithm without getting into syntactical details.
So no, they're not really synonymous.
