Five steps involved in computer programming:
Problem Definition
Program Design
Program Preparation
Program Testing
Program Implementation
Called Function Specification
Problem Definition
Identify what the program will do (inputs/ outputs);
Program Design
The code is written in a programming language
Program Preparation
Alpha testing is carried out by the programmers and system analyst
Program Testing
Carried out to check for accuracy and sufficiency
Beta testing
Trained users test the full program
Program implementation
All computer software is written in a specific
Programming language
The first generation programming language is called…
Binary
Machine language made up of two symbols that signify off (0) and on (1)
Binary
Second generation language is called
Assembler Language
Uses English letters and symbols but relates them directly to Binary.
Assembler Language
FORTRAN, COBOL, Java, and Visual BASIC are examples of…
Third generation programming languages.
Procedural language that require the user to specify both the exact procedure to be carried out as well as the data involved.
FORTRAN and COBOL
Used for internet content
Java
Visual programming language
Visual BASIC
Programming language that allows users to choose procedures from a menu instead of having to specify them with code.
Fourth Generation
Program language in which people will be able to speak directly to computers and have them carry out the verbal commands.
Fifth generation
