What is a Program?
Pseudocode – is an English-like language that you can use to state your solution.
3. Coding the Program
■ Code the program -- that is, to express your solution in a programming language.
■ You will translate the logic from the flowchart or pseudocode – or some other tool – to a
programming language.
There are many programming languages:
BASIC
COBOL
PASCAL
FORTRAN
C C++ C#
PYTHON and many more.
4. TESTING THE PROGRAM
After coding the program, you test it to find the mistakes.
This step involves these phases:
Desk- checking
Translating
Debugging
Desk- Checking
This phase, similar to proof reading.
In desk-checking, you simply sit down and mentally trace, or check, the logic of the
program to ensure that it is error-free and workable
Translating
A translator is a program that translates your program into language the computer
can understand.

■ A by-product of the process is that the translator tells you if you have improperly
used the programming language in some way. These types of mistakes are called
Syntax Errors.
■ The Translator produces descriptive error messages.
