QuoteRef: scanDA9_1989 ;;Structured flowcharts outperform pseudocode: An experimental
30 ;;Quote: hypothesized that structured flowcharts are better than pseudo-code: easier, fewer errors, more confidence, quicker answers, fewer references
30 ;;Quote: defined pseudocode as a structured flowchart with indentation instead of graphical symbols
32 ;;Quote: a measure of program understanding is the number of times spent viewing the program in order to answer a question
30 ;;Quote: pseudocode took about twice as long to understand as structured flowcharts at all levels of complexity
30 ;;Quote: with pseudocode, subjects answered significantly fewer questions correctly than with structured flowcharts
