    The document discusses the key steps in program design: understanding the task, determining the steps to complete it through algorithms expressed in pseudocode or flowcharts, and defining the inputs, processing, and outputs. It emphasizes that designing the program foundation through defining requirements, algorithms, and data flows is the most important part of the development cycle. Pseudocode uses plain English to outline program logic without syntax rules, while flowcharts visually map the program's steps and connections between inputs, processes, and outputs using standard symbols.

    2.1 Designing a Program


    Use pseudocode or flowcharts!

    The Program Development Cycle

    The process of designing a program is arguably the most important part of the cycle. You can think of
    a program’s design as its foundation. To do it understand the task and determine the steps to get it
    done. A software requirement is simply a single task that the program must perform in order to
    satisfy the customer.

    An algorithm is a set of well-defined logical steps that must be taken to perform a task. You do it
    before every task.

    Use pseudocode, the word “pseudo” means fake, so pseudocode is fake code. It is an informal
    language that has no syntax rules and is not meant to be compiled or execute. e.g.

    Input the hours worked > Input the hourly pay rate> Calculate gross pay as hours worked multiplied
    by pay rate> Display the gross pay

    A flowchart is a diagram that graphically depicts the steps that take place in a program. Ovals are
    input & output terminals; parallelograms are input & output symbols and rectangles are
    processing symbols.
