Week 1 PRELIMS Flashcards
It cannot make decisions or do operations by itself.
Computer
It needs programs for it to know what task should it perform and how it should be done
Computer
It is the process of developing and implementing various sets of instructions to enable a computer to do a certain task.
Programming
The main objective of this is to solve a problem.
Programming
It is usually written by a computer programmer.
Programming Language
It is a set of instructions for a computer.
Computer Program
These instructions describe the steps that the computer must follow to implement a plan.
Computer Program
It is a detailed plan for solving a problem.
Algorithm
It is a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.
Algorithm
this is a key step in solving a problem
ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
5 Major Steps of Algorithm Development Process
Obtain a description of the problem.
Analyze the problem.
Develop a high-level algorithm.
Refine the algorithm by adding more detail
Review the algorithm
It is a short, clear explanation of the issue
Problem Statement
It investigates a situation/problem in order to allow the programmer to understand more fully the problem
Problem Analysis
this step shows the major steps that need to be followed to solve a problem.
High Level Algorithm
Refine the algorithm by adding more detail
Detailed Algorithm
