  15. What is a do-while control structure? Repeats one or more times as long as condition is true Step 2 – Design Programs Next p.15.8 Fig. 15-8

  16. What is a do-until control structure? Tests condition at end of loop Step 2 – Design Programs Next p.15.8 Fig. 15-9

  17. No dead code No infinite loops One entry point One exit point What is a proper program? Step 2 – Design Programs dead code Any code, or program instruction, that program never executes infinite loop Set of instructions that repeats continuously entry point Location where program, module, or control structure begins exit point Location where it ends Next p.15.8

  18. How are entry and exit points shown? Each control structure should have one entry point and one exit point Step 2 – Design Programs Next p.15.9 Fig. 15-10

  19. What is a program flowchart? Graphically shows logic in a solution algorithm Step 2 – Design Programs Next p.15.10 Fig. 15-12

  20. What is a Nassi-Schneiderman (N-S) chart? Graphically shows logic in a solution algorithm Step 2 – Design Programs Next p.15.11 Fig. 15-14

  21. What is pseudocode? Uses condensed form of English to convey program logic Step 2 – Design Programs Next p.15.12 Fig. 15-15

  22. What is a quality review? Review of program design Desk check Structured walkthrough Step 2 – Design Programs logic error Design flaw that causes inaccurate results Next p.1512

  23. What is involved in coding programs? Two steps Translating solution algorithm into a programming language Entering programming language code into the computer Step 3 – Code Programs Next p.15.13 Fig. 15-16

  24. What is involved in testing programs? Goal is to ensure program runs correctly and is error free Three types of errors Syntax Logic Run time Step 4 – Test Programs Next p.15.13

  25. What is debugging? Process of locating and correcting syntax and logic errors in program Step 4 – Test Programs Next p.15.14 Fig. 15-17

  26. What is involved in formalizing a solution? Programmer performs two activities Reviews program code Reviews documentation Step 5 – Formalize Solution Next p.15.15

  27. What is involved in maintaining programs? Two activities Identify errors Identify enhancements Involves modifying existing programs to improve their functionality Step 6 – Maintain Programs Next p.15.15

  28. What are the categories of programming languages? Categories of Programming Languages assembly languages machine languages third-generation languages fourth-generation languages fifth-generation languages Next Click to viewanimation Click to view video p.15.16

  29. What are low- and high-level programming languages? Categories of Programming Languages low-level language Programming language that is machine-dependent high-level language Language that is machine-independent Machine-dependent language Runs only on oneparticular computer Machine-independent language Can run on many different types of computers Third-generation, fourth-generation, and fifth-generation languages are high-level Machine and assembly languages are low-level Next p.15.16
