7.5 Programming
The six stages in
developing a computer solution are modified into nine stages for programming
Ø
Defining the
problem
Ø
The structure
of the data
Ø
Processes
Ø
Refining the
process
Ø
Algorithm
Ø
Coding the
algorithm
Ø
Testing and
debugging
Ø
Documentation
Ø
Publication
True or
False? Write out the true sentences and change the false sentences so that they
are true.
|
Test data does not need to cover the range of values possible in a problem |
|
Each programming language has its own set of rules |
|
A compiler or interpreter translates the algorithm into a program |
|
Algorithms use only two basic control structures |
|
Syntax errors result from an incorrect series of steps in the algorithm |
|
Logic errors are often time consuming to debug |
|
Intrinsic documentation is any comments or remarks contained within the program code |
|
Internal documentation involves writing the program so that it is easily understood |
|
There is always only one correct solution to a problem |
|
A structured program is easily understood by other programmers |
