Answer 3

Can I also use an = sign to show it in the same way?

Answer 4

Pseudocode has no fixed rules, that's why it's called 'pseudo'.

You can use any style, as long as it helps you or others getting a better grasp of what you're going to do.

Oh okay, one last thing,when selecting my variables from a given problem statement, how do I pick the variables to assist me to go further with my steps that will follow?

Answer 6

You mean, which variable names to choose in your pseudocode?

Well... as I said there are no rules (otherwise it would be called 'code' without the 'pseudo').

You can use what makes most sense to *you*.
