Pseudocode before code

Pseudocode is structured plain language — not Python, not perfect English. It bridges your plan and real syntax.

FUNCTION find_max(numbers):
    IF numbers is empty:
        RETURN none
    max_val = numbers[0]
    FOR each n in numbers:
        IF n > max_val:
            max_val = n
    RETURN max_val

Translate line by line into Python only after the logic feels solid.
