Intro to Algorithm Pseudocode

This document provides examples of algorithm pseudocode for calculating the sum of integers from 1 to n, where n is provided by the user. Each example is given a score out of 5 based on how complete and clear the pseudocode is. The final and highest scored example (score of 5/5) uses a for loop to iterate from 1 to n, adding each number to a running sum variable mySum before printing the final result.
