Question

Place the basic steps in the order that programmers would perform them when creating a new program.

Answer 1

Answer:

Defining the program

Planning the program

Coding the program

Testing the program

Documenting the program

Explanation:

Defining the program is the first step in creating a computer program. Here the problem is defined, what are we creating? What is the objective or what problem are we solving? The second step is paining or design of the program. This has to do with creating algorithms for the programs which constitute the step by step logical arrangement that the program would need to solve the problem. The third step is coding the program which entails bringing the algorithm to live in a way that the computer would understand. The fourth and final step have to do with debugging/testing the program for effectiveness and documenting for commercial and programmers use respectively.

Answer 2

Answer:

Planning, Analyzing, Designing, Coding, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance

Explanation:

Here is an overview of what happens in each step:

Planning -> The purpose of the system is defined

Analyzing -> Requirements are analyzed

Designing -> According to the requirements, specifications are designed

Coding -> Actual coding starts

Testing -> The code is tested if it satisfies the requirements

Deployment -> The code is released

Maintenance -> Bug fixes and upgrades
