MODULE #3 - Programming Development Life Cycle

The document describes the programming development life cycle (PDLC), which is a systematic process for creating computer programs. It consists of 5 main steps: (1) understanding the problem, (2) developing an algorithm, (3) coding the program, (4) testing the program, and (5) optional program documentation. The steps involve identifying the problem, making step-by-step procedures to solve it, converting the algorithm into source code, finding and fixing errors through debugging, and creating a user manual.

how to CREATE

computer program?
computer programmers follow STEPS
in creating programs,

they called it PDLC


PDLC
stands for

PROGRAMMING
DEVELOPMENT
LIFE
CYCLE
PDLC
• it is the systematic process of
creating computer programs
5 Steps of PDLC
1. Understand the Problem

2. Develop Algorithm

3. Code the Program

4. Test the Program

5. Program Documentation (optional)


1. Understand the Problem
• identify what is given in the problem

• identify what is being asked in the


problem

• find a solution, to get what is being


asked by the use of what is given
Example
Solution:
2. Develop Algorithm
• Make a step by step procedures to
solve the problem
START
FLOWCHART
DIAGRAM
input all the
grades of Pedro
to the program

get average by adding all the


grades, divided by the
number of his subject

output the average


of Pedro to the
program

END
START
FLOWCHART
DIAGRAM
input the dollar
money of JUAN

get peso amount by


multiplying his money into
51

output the equivalent


value of his money into
Peso

END
3. Code the Program
• Convert the algorithm into a source
code

• Type the source code in the computer


demonstrate
4. Test the Program
• Find and Fix Errors (Debugging)

• Another Term for error is “bug”


5. Program Documentation
• Creating User Manual
START
SEATWORK
input all the
• Draw the flowchart in a Paper grades of Pedro
to the program

get average by adding all the


grades, divided by the
number of his subject

output the average


of Pedro to the
program

END
