is pseudocode important in making the actual code? because it is hard to read code same as writing code.

making it human readable

Yes, pseudo codes are handy when it comes to coding. In JS, if var a = 2, var b = 3, to determine the smaller number, you don't go like this : return (a < b) ? a : b But, you go like this : return Math.min(a, b) You might see that using the first one is less complicated, but what if you have 5 variables to compare? You can simply use pseudo code and do Math.min(a, b, c, d, e).

pseudocode is the foundation in coding style for me but it hard to convert to code....

It's ok, jestoni. pseudo code is similar to brainstorming for writing a paper. It helps organize your thoughts and how to solve the problem at hand regardless of which programming language you use. To can write good pseudo code, start from a broad perspective, get the very basics of your function or program down, once that's done, start from the beginning again and add a little more detail. I usually do about three or four iterations of that and eventually the pseudo code can get detailed enough to where you aren't writing a function from scratch but more like filling in the gaps and initializing variables. Pseudo code is more problem-solving, than programming per se, but good pseudo code can look very similar to real code.
