There is 'no language' for psudo code, but whatever language this psudo-code is closest to is hard for me (and probably others) to understand. Colon-Equal Sign? What does that mean?

Can someone who understands this Psudo-code break it down further? Make it closer to plain English? Don't assume the reader understands the symbols being used in the psudo code please. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.129.81.162|50.129.81.162]] ([[User talk:50.129.81.162|talk]]) 14:40, 8 February 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Psudo-code on Wikipedia should probably be written so that someone who doesn't know any programming languages at all can understand it. After all, programming is math. Why should someone have to understand a specific programming language or shorthand to understand an algorithm? Psudo-code on Wikipedia should be universal, or at least understood in the language the page is written in (English and Math for example).
