INTRO TO COMPPROG

Question 1

the process of developing and implementing various sets of instructions, called computer programs, to enable a computer to do a certain task.

Answer 1

computer programming

Question 2

what is computer programming?

Answer 2

the process of developing and implementing various sets of instructions, called computer programs, to enable a computer to do a certain task.

Question 3

parts of problem solving phase?

Answer 3

• Analysis and Specification
• General Solution (Algorithm).
• Verify.

Question 4

Understand (define) the problem and what the solution must do.

Answer 4

Analysis and Specification.

Question 5

Develop a logical sequence of steps to be used to solve the problem.

Answer 5

General Solution (Algorithm)

Question 6

Follow the steps exactly to see if the solution really does solve the problem

Answer 6

Verify

Question 7

parts of implementation phase?

Answer 7

• Concrete Solution (Program)
• Test
• maintenance

Question 8

two parts of programming process?

Answer 8

• problem solving phase

- implementation phase

Question 9

Translate the algorithm into a program using any programming language.

Answer 9

Concrete Solution (Program

Question 10

Have the computer follow the instructions. Then manually check the results. If you find errors, analyze the program and the algorithm to determine the source of the errors, and then make corrections.

Answer 10

Test

Question 11

third phase of implementation phase

Answer 11

maintenance

Question 12

a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem in a finite amount of time.

Answer 12

algorithm

Question 13

two main ways that algorithms can be represented

Answer 13

pseudocode and flowcharts.

Question 14

detailed yet readable description of what a computer program must do, expressed in a formally-styled natural language rather than in a programming language.

Answer 14

pseudocode

Question 15

formalized graphic representation of a logic sequence, work or manufacturing process, organization chart, or similar formalized structure.

Answer 15

flowchart

Question 16

use simple geometric symbols and arrows to define relationships.

Answer 16

flowchart

Question 17

Characteristics of Pseudocode

Answer 17

• Statements flow in a logical order
• Statements are clearly defined
• Statements are often numbered sequentially
• Statements do not have more than one meaning (not ambiguous)
• May use variables to represent data

Question 18

a set of rules, symbols, and special words used to construct a program

Answer 18

programming language

Question 19

Translating an algorithm into a program is called

Answer 19

coding the algorithm

Question 20

errors in program

Answer 20

bugs

Question 21

process of detecting and removing of existing and potential errors in a software code that can cause it to behave unexpectedly or crash

Answer 21

Debugging

Question 22

The concrete solution or the program is tested by

Answer 22

running (executing) it on the computer.

Question 23

three types of errors

Answer 23

• Syntax errors
• Runtime errors
• Logic errors

Question 24

represent grammar errors in the use of the programming language. This type of error can be detected by the computer.

Answer 24

Syntax errors

Question 25

occur when a program with no syntax errors asks the computer to do something that the computer is unable to reliably do

Answer 25

Runtime errors

Question 26

occur when there is a design flaw in your program. This type of error cannot be detected by the computer.

Answer 26

Logic or Logical errors
