Before starting implementation, the team wrote pseudocode to outline the algorithm without committing to any particular programming language.

The professor reviewed several pseudocodes to illustrate different algorithmic approaches.

We reviewed the pseudocoded algorithm to ensure everyone understood the control flow.

Before writing any code, the team emphasized the importance of pseudocoding to clarify the algorithm's steps.

During iterative decoding, the algorithm occasionally converges on a pseudocodeword rather than a valid codeword, leading to persistent decoding errors.

Engineers inspected the pseudocodewords produced during simulation to determine whether the decoding algorithm had converged.
