CODING AND TESTING CODING THE SOLUTION

CODING  Coding involves the process of
translating the algorithm into a
specific programming language.
AND TESTING  Testing deals with the process of
verifying if the program meet the
requirements stated on the problem.
 After designing the program interface, next
is to add functionality to the form and
controls through the use of the Code Editor.
 This is done by inserting the VB program
codes into the event procedure of the form or
control.
 An event is a signal that informs an
application that something important has
occurred. For ex ample, click a control, enter
a tex t.

Examples of controls and their

commonly used events: CODING THE SOLUTION CODING THE SOLUTION
