Can be done easily on a word processor

Easily modified
Implements structured concepts well
Clarify algorithms in many cases.
Impose increased discipline on the process of documenting
detailed design.
Provide additional level at which inspection can be
performed.
Help to trap defects before they become code.
Increases product reliability.
May decreases overall costs.
It can be easily modified as compared to flowchart.
Its implementation is very useful in structured design
elements.
It can be written easily.
It can be read and understood easily.
Converting a pseudocode to programming language is very
easy as compared with converting a flowchart to
programming language.

It's not visual
Create an additional level of documentation to
maintain.
Introduce error possibilities in translating to code.
May require tool to extract pseudocode and facilitate
drawing flowcharts.
There is no accepted standard, so it varies widely from
company to company
We do not get a picture of the design.
There is no standardized style or format, so one
pseudocode may be different from another.
For a beginner, it is more difficult to follow the logic
or write pseudocode as compared to flowchart.
