Just explain what the program does, step by step, in plain text (some programming/math inspired syntax is usually OK). You probably still want to use indentation to make it easy to see what's inside loops and branches but leave out C++-specific details. Exactly how much details you can leave out depends on the purpose you intend to use the pseudocode for.

The code's comments are a "good start" at crafting some pseudo code equivalent. They say in simplified plain English text what the code is doing.

How elaborate your pseudo code ends up being is "what do you need the pseudo code for?"

You did it the wrong way round then.

You don't build a house and then put the scaffolding up afterwards.

For example, the pseudo code you write before the code could become the comments in the code.

You usually design the program first - including pseudo code - and then code from the design.

Are you sure the class requirement is to produce pseudo-code from the actual code, and not to first produce pseudo-code and then actual code?
