Program development

An old programming proverb : "Resist the temptation to code ".

-A multi-steps process that requires you to :
1. undestand the problem
2.Develop a solution
3.Write the program
4.Test the program

-To develop the soulution , the following tools are normally used :
1.Structure chart
2.Pseudocode or flowcharts

-Structure chart
1.A hierarchy chart that shows the functional flow through the program.
2.Shows how the program is broken into logical steps . Each step will be a separate module

-Pseudocode:
1.A condensed from of ENglish to convey program logic .
2.Contains the detailed steps to accomplish the task
3.The detailed algorithm in the pseudocode is precise , such that the programmer can convert the pseudocode into a computer program
4.Algorithm , the logical steps nevessary to solve a problem in a computer .

-Flowchart:
A program design tool in which standard graphical symbols ( refer to Appendix 1 ) are used to represent the logical flow of data through a function
