If I understand you well, you do not want the pseudo-code to look much like a program code so that someone using different progarmming language can use it and solve the same task. I have some tips that could help you achieve that. The main idea is that you should avoid using syntactic elements of the programming language. Think in terms of the problem beign solved, not the programming language. Write your pseudo-code in simple language that any one can read and understand. It should be simple that someone with out coding skills can follow it and solve thesame task. Here is an example of simple pseudo-code of a function that finds the second maximum element in an array.

The function takes two inputs:
  arr - array of integers
  length - lenght of the array
It returns:
  secMax - Second maximum element

Then the steps (should be in a simple language)

Define and set the maximum and second maximum as the minimum possible value

Repeat for each element of the array
{
  If the current element is greater than the current maximu
  {
    then make current maximum as second maximum
    Make the maximum as current array element
    (Now you have new maximum and second maximum)
  }
  else if the current array element is less than maximum but is greater than second 
  maximum
  { 
  then make it second maximum
  }
 
}
return second maximum

As you can see I just explained the steps without using syntactic elements of any programming language. So now anyone can implement my steps using his/her comfortable language to solve the same task.

Let's say I want to implement this using C, my code will be something like this:

//Defining the function according to the information above
//It takes to inputs and returns an integer

int findSecondMaximum(int arr[], int length)
{
  //Define and Set the maximum and second maximum as the minimum possible value
    int max, secondMax;
    max = secondMax = INT_MIN;

  for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) //Repeat for each element of the array
  {
     //If the current element is greater than the current maximum
     if (vect[i] > max)
     {
       //then make the current maximum as second maximum
        secondMax = max;
           
      //Make the maximum as the current array element
          max = vect[i];
     }

     /*else if the current array element is less than maximum but is greater than 
     second maximum*/
     else if (vect[i] > secondMax && vect[i] < max)
     { 
       //make it second maximum
        secondMax = vect[i];
     }
 
  }
  //return second maximum
   return secondMax;
  
}

I hope this would help.
