PROGRAMMING BASICS
Computer programs are a detailed set of instructions
given to the computer
They tell the computer:
1. What actions you want the computer to perform
2. The order those actions should happen in
An effective program therefore needs:
1. A thorough understanding of the problem
2. A well thought-out, step-by-step solution to the problem
,WHAT IS PROGRAMMING
FUNDAMENTALS?
Computer programming is a process of writing an executable
computer program for accomplishing a specific computer task.
Although writing the programs is an art to proceed the process of set
of instructions which are cultivate on the base of problem.
A computer program is a sequence of instructions written using a
Computer Programming Language to perform a specified task by the
computer. Computer Programming is fun and easy to learn provided
you adopt a proper approach.
The two important terms that we have used in the above definition are
• Sequence of instructions
• Computer Programming Language
, HOW WRITE COMPUTER
PROGRAM?
There are four steps to write simple, clear and unique software program.
Pseudocode
Pseudocode is an informal high-level description of the operating principle of a computer
program or other algorithm
Algorithm
algorithm is a set of steps to be followed in solving some particular problem.
Flowchart
A flowchart is a schematic representation of an algorithm or a stepwise process, showing the
steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting these with arrows and shapes.
Coding/programming
Coding is the process of using a programming language to get a computer to behave how you
want it to.
