B.2 Components of a Pseudocode Prompt
We highlight some components of code prompt that would be helpful in describing the underlying reasoning logic.
\ • Conditional branch: To allow the reasoning model to take different reasoning paths based on the condition, we use if and else statement to describe the logic.
\ • Loop: We can efficiently present repetitive instructions that iterate over a list of items by using loops, such as for and while loop.
\ • Abstraction: In programming, we can encapsulate a complex logic into a single function. Focusing on this, we adopt modular design in constructing pseudocode prompts by encapsulating complex and repetitive process into an abstract function.
\ • Variables: Variables are essential in programming languages as they store data values to execute instructions. Similarly, in reasoning, keeping track of variables is crucial for maintaining state, passing data, and for general data manipulation tasks.
\ • Comments and docstrings: As human programmers can rely on the assistance of comments to better understand codes, we provide more detailed explanations on the intent of code via comments. Also, comments and docstrings can compensate the limitation when some semantics cannot be directly expressed with programming language.
