Hello Al,

This idea came from my limited success on the Web in getting good, clear
pseudocode that implement algorithms for various functions for the purpose of
translating them into Eu.  I remember thinking that a nice collection of good
ones would make excellent practice in learning any programming language.  The
mental effort of translation would help fix key ideas in mind, but because the
algorithmic reasoning had already been done, the focus would remain on the
language.

For an example of one approach to this, see my post "Unusually Clear Pseudocode
Example" which I put up before I had seen your post.

Imagine a bunch of these useful expressions presented in order of difficulty as
well as by type.  Probably people at all levels of expertise could benefit.
