Programming Flashcards
It is the process of creating a computer program.
Programming
It is a list of instruction that the computer must follow in order to process data into information.
Program
It is the person who writes and debugs computer programs.
Programmer
It is an artificial language used to write instructions that can be translated into machine language and executed by a computer.
Programming language
This step determines the logic that the program will follow.
Program design
A narrative design of the program using English-like statements to describe the logic and the processing flow.
Pseudocode
It utilizes symbols to represent the detailed series of steps needed to solve the programming problem.
Flowchart
It is the step where you can write the program.
Program coding
This is done to verify the results or the output of the program.
Program testing
It is the reading through or checking the program to make sure that it is free of errors and that the logic works.
Desk-checking
It is the process of detecting, locating, and removing all errors in a computer program.
Debugging
It is an error within a program code that keeps the computer from producing the desired result.
Bug
It involves the program being tested with real-life data.
User acceptance testing
This is writing a description of the program’s purpose and processes.
Program documentation
This is a structure wherein one program statement follows another in sequential order.
Sequence control structure.
This is a structure used to represent a chioce.
Selection control structure
This is a structure wherein a process may be repeated as long as a certain condition remains true or remains false.
Iteration or loop control structure
It is the basic language of the computer, presenting data as zeros and ones.
First Generation: Machine Language
It allows a programmer to use abbreviations and easily-remembered words instead of numbers.
Second Generation: Assembly Language
This language uses ……… Which are memory aids and abbreviation for an operation.
Third Generation: High-Level Languages
These languages are much more user-oriented, and allow programmers to develop programs with fewer commands compared to 3GLs.
Fourth Generation: Very High-Level Languages
Is a group of related technologies that attempt to develop machines to emulate humanlike qualities, such as learning, reasoning, communicating, seeing and hearing.
Artificial intelligence
It is a type of system software that translates a program written in a second, third or a higher-generation language into machine language.
Language Translator
This translates the assembly-language program into machine language.
Assembler
This converts the entire program of a high-level language into machine language.
Compiler
This converts each high-level language statement into machine language and executes it immediatley, statement per statment.
Interpreter
It shows steps that occur in process.
Flowchart
This marks the starting and ending points of the flowchart.
Tminator/terminal block
This contains the initial value of the variable provided in the problem statement or variable decleration.
Preparation or initialization
This is used to accept data for processing and is also used to display the answer as output to the processed data.
Input or output
This is used to process data by writing mathematical equetion/s.
Action or process block
This contains logical expressions used for decision making and branching.
Decision block
This indicates that the flow continues where matching symbols have been placed on he same page.
On-page connector
This indicates that the flow continues where matching symbols have been placed on another page.
Off-page connector
This symbol indcates the direction of flow of logic in the program.
Flow lines
Is any variable name that is to receive the value of expression.
Var
Is any valid constant or variable, or a sequence of computations whose final result or value is assigned to “var”
Expression
