2: Program Design and Planning

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 2.1: What is Software Development
  • 2.2: Why is Design Important
  • 2.3: Program Design
    Program Design consists of the steps a programmer should do before they start coding the program in a specific language. These steps when properly documented will make the completed program easier for other programmers to maintain in the future.
  • 2.4: Psuedocode
    Pseudocode is one method of designing or planning a program. Pseudo means false, thus pseudocode means false code. A better translation would be the word fake or imitation. Pseudocode is fake (not the real thing). It looks like (imitates) real code but it is NOT real code. It uses English statements to describe what a program is to accomplish. It is fake because no complier exists that will translate the pseudocode to any machine language. Pseudocode is used for documenting the program or module
