Designing using Programming Process
The Programming Process
There are six steps in the process of programming. Take a look at the Programming Process learning object below to understand the steps in programming. As you learned each step is important; however, testing the program is vital to ensure that the correct code has been utilized and the program works effectively. When an error is discovered, the programmer must find and fix the program. This process is referred to as debugging. Noted below are tips for solving programming errors.
-
- Check the code. Most times, errors occur due to improper use of syntax when utilizing programming languages and the incorrect placement of blocks in drag-n-drop programming.
- Remain calm. You may need to take a break and revisit the program at a later time to ensure you do not overlook an error.
- Use the scientific approach to solve the problem.
- Take notes as you attempt to discover the bug. This process will rule out options and provide you with a resource that can be used in the future as programming errors occur.
- Seek assistance from another programmer. You may discover that the programmer has encountered the same problem and can save you time by sharing a resolution to the problem.
