Introduction to Programming

Introduction to Programming

1. Phase 1

   • Definition of the problem
     • Implies understanding what the client needs

2. Phase 2

   • Analysis of the problem
     • To analyze point by point the problem or task that is presented, think about the operations necessary to solve it the types of data to handle and the relationship with everyday life situations.

3. Phase 3

   • Design
     • Develop the procedure (step by step) to solve the problem

4. Phase 4

   • Coding
     • translation of the algorithm or flow chart into a programming language according to its grammar rules or syntax.

5. Phase 5

   • Depuration
     • Verified that the program has been coded correctly, the program is left free of errors in both syntax and logic.

6. Phase 6

   • Implementation of the program
     • It is tested and run several times, results are controlled, and its effectiveness is recorded to confirm its efficiency at work.

7. Phase 7.

   • Maintenance of the program
     • The program implemented in the work area has to be periodically reviewed with the possibility of removing or adding instructions that are adapted to the needs of the system and make it more effective.

8. Phase 8.

   • Documentation
     • It is a very important phase, since it generates both the technical manuals and the user manual and help
