Editing Pidgin code (section)

==Examples==
In [[numerical computation]], mathematical style pseudocode is sometimes called pidgin code, for example ''pidgin [[ALGOL]]'' (the origin of the concept), ''pidgin [[Fortran]]'', ''pidgin [[BASIC]]'', ''pidgin [[Pascal (programming language) | Pascal]]'', and ''pidgin [[C (programming language) | C]]''. It is a compact and often informal notation that blends [[syntax]] taken from a conventional [[programming language]] with [[mathematical notation]], typically using [[set theory]] and [[matrix (mathematics)|matrix]] operations, and perhaps also [[natural language]] descriptions. 

It can be understood by a wide range of mathematically trained people, and is used as a way to describe [[algorithm]]s where the [[control structure]] is made explicit at a rather high level of detail, while some data structures are still left at an abstract level, independent of any specific programming language. 

Normally non-[[ASCII]] [[typesetting]] is used for the mathematical equations, for example by means of [[TeX]] or [[MathML]] markup, or proprietary [[Formula editor]] formats. 

These are examples of articles that contain mathematical style pseudocode:
