Alan turings enigma code breaker was a very important part of history. First I explain the enigma machine. The enigma made by germans was a method of sending codes across to other enigmas, it was a very difficult code to break as there were many settings included allowing for many combinations. There was 60 rotor positions, 17576 starting positions on rotor and a plugboard only available to military 26!/6! 10! 2to the power of 10. Options. To break this code the bombe machine was created which would decipher the code once turing came up with a method. The algorithm was found a flaw was found which allowed turing to work from there, flaw was that a letter cannot represent itself therefore turing co tried every possible combination of the plug board duos in every possible rotor positions but because the setting sfor the enigma machine would change every day and new plan was set every month they needed to break the code every morning that is what the bombe did using electric currents throught each circuit going through wach option electronically. It was a success as they deciphered codes every morning. What we can learn from this is that every algorithm created has a method and it is always possible to find that method. Once found you can create a replica of that method for your own program,
Pseudocode is an informal high-level description of the operating principle of a computer or other algorithm.
It uses the structural conventions of programming, but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading.
A programmer who needs to implement a specific algorithm, especially an unfamiliar one, will often start with a pseudocode description, and then "translate" that description into the target programming language and modify it to interact correctly with the rest of the program. Programmers may also start a project by sketching out the code in pseudocode on paper before writing it in its actual language, as a top-down structuring approach, with a stepwise
