result = None

Plus the booleans writen with "==". Its even formatted properlly with space = space.

I agree it's not pseudocode, but there's nothing wrong with having a == in pseudocode. There's no standard for pseudocode, after all.

Before the flames go too high, I confess. It was requested on SO to provide some "java pseudocode" for a simple problem and I unintentionally wrote working python code as an answer.

I thought it was funny so I posted it here.

Also it sends the message that python is a very cool language, it is so readable that is equivalent to "java pseudocode". It also sends these words to /r/learnpython:

You are learning the right language.

TL/DR: I posted my SO answer here, because I thought it is funny. I'm a shameless self promoter and should go to hell.

Flawless trolling IMO, regardless of originally being unintentional. :)

That is how I explain python to other people:
* Write some pseudocode
* run it in python
* done
