Chapter 13
Programming and Languages
Lecture Guide
 Learning Objectives
o Define programming and describe the six steps of programming.
o Compare design tools including top-down design, pseudocode, flowcharts, and
logic structures.
o Describe program testing and the tools for finding and removing errors.
o Describe CASE tools and object-oriented software development.
o Explain the five generations of programming languages.
Chapter Outline
 To efficiently and effectively use computers users need to understand the relationship
between systems development and programming.
 Programs and Programming
o A program is a list of instructions for the computer to follow to accomplish the
task of processing data into information.
o The instructions are made up of statements used in a programming language such
as C++, Java, or Python.
o These can be purchased and are referred to as prewritten or packaged programs or
programs can be created or custom-made.
o Programming, also known as software development, typically follows a six-step
procedure known as the software development life cycle (SDLC).
o SDLC-The software development life cycle consists of six steps.
 Program specification: The program’s objectives, outputs, inputs, and
processing requirements are determined.
 Program design: A solution is created using programming techniques such
as top-down program design, pseudocode, flowcharts, and logic structures.
 Program code: The program is written or coded using a programming
language.
 Program test: The program is tested or debugged by looking for syntax
and logic errors.
 Program documentation: Documentation is an ongoing process throughout
the programming process.
 This phase focuses on formalizing the written description and
processes used in the program.
 Program maintenance: Completed programs are periodically reviewed to
evaluate their accuracy, efficiency, standardization, and ease of use.
o Computer professionals, known as software engineers or programmers, use the
six-step procedure.
 Step 1: Program Specification (See Figure 13-2.)
o Also called program definition or program analysis; it requires that the
programmer (or end user) specify five items:
 Program objectives - Make a clear statement of the problem that is trying
to be solved.
 Determine the objectives.

13-1

, Chapter 13 - Programming and Languages


 Desired Outputs - List what end users want to get out of the computer
system.
 Specify outputs before inputs.
 Input data - Once it is known what output is desired, input data can be
determined as well of the source of this data.
 Processing Requirements - Define the processing tasks that must happen
for input data to be processed into output.
 Program Specification Document – Ongoing documentation is essential to
record program objectives, desired outputs, needed inputs, and required
processing.
 Step 2: Program Design
o Plan a solution preferably using structured programming techniques:
o Top-down program design
 Used to identify the program’s processing steps knowns as program
modules
 Each module is made up of logically related program statements.
 Each module should have a single function.
 The program must pass in sequence from one module to the next until all
modules are processed by the computer.
o Pseudocode - an outline of the logic of the program to be written. (See Figure 13-
7.)
o Flowcharts - graphically present the detailed sequence of steps needed to solve a
programming problem, known as program flowcharts. (See Figures 13-8 and 13-
9.)
o Logic structures; sequential, selection, and repetition
 Sequential structure - One program statement follows another. (See
Figure 13-10.)
 Selection structure - occurs when a decision must be made.
 The outcome of the decision determines which of two paths to
follow. (IF-THEN-ELSE structure)
 Repetition or loop structure - describes a process that may be repeated as
long as a certain condition remains true.
 The structure is called a “loop” or “iteration” because the program
loops around or repeats again and again.
o The last thing to do before leaving the program design step is to document the
logic of the design.
 This report typically includes pseudocode, flowcharts, and logic
structures.
 Step 3: Program Code
o Writing the program is called coding.
o Use the logic developed in the program design step to actually write the program.
 This is the “program code” that instructs the computer what to do using
the developed logic.
o A Good Program
 What are the qualities of a good program?
 Should be reliable and work under most conditions
 Should catch obvious and common input errors
