Text-based/code-based pseudocode is typically used to provide an overview of a computer program by utilizing code notations. Pseudocode employs structured, readable text that resembles programming languages but is not strictly defined by syntax rules, allowing for the representation of algorithms in a way that is easy to understand without requiring familiarity with a specific programming language.

While flowcharts and workflow diagrams are also valuable tools for visualizing processes and algorithms, they are not considered text-based or code-based pseudocode. Instead, they offer a graphical representation of how a program flows or how tasks are organized.
