Programming pt.1
What is programming?
Programming is an important skill in today's
digital age
Process of communicating with computer to be
able to follow list given instruction.
When list of relevant instructions is grouped to do
specific task, it forms a program
Programmer Client
4 General phases
Design Testing
Analysis Implementation
Design
It is phase that helps making implementation
easier.
By following same programming concepts , but without
dealing with complicated syntax (code grammar)
Pseudocode Flowchart Structure Diagram
Uses English words Diagram that designs Breaking down the
and mathematical the steps of a system to many
notations to design program by using a subsystems in tree
the steps of a standard set of shape
program. symbols aa joined by
lines to show the
direction of flow.
Pseudocode
The closest design type to the real code.
By using English words.
Consists of some keywords that is used to do
specific task.
Structure
Keyword Content
OUTPUT
Screen
Keyword used to print something on screen
My name is Mohamed
Message Memory
Later
Output Message
Non-changing statement that you want it to be printed as it is. Code
OUTPUT “My name is Mohamed”
Output “whatever “
Don‘t forget the Quotations.
Quick question
Write a program that shows that message Screen
“Programming is Fun”
Programming is Fun
Code
OUTPUT “Programming is Fun”
DECLARE
Computer depends on memory in all its operation
DECLARE is a process of reserving memory for
later use through out the program
When declaring a memory it is called
By stating its name and type variable as you can never expect what is
gonna store until you assign it and it may
change through out the program
Variable name
Whole word(no sentences or spaces)
Name has always to start by
alphabet (no symbols or numbers)
It is preferable to always name the
variable meaningful name depends
on its purpose
DECLARE
Variable data type
Real Integer String Character Boolean
1.2, 1 My name, K, True/False
99.4, 78 ID91828, !,
9.0 9 192828 +,
9
You always have to assign the variable with its
appropriate data type that depends on how you
will use it.
DECLARE
Myname
DECLARE Name Type String
Screen
Code
DECLARE Myname : STRING
Myname
INPUT String
Screen
Keyword used to take entry from user and store it
in computer
INPUT is always related to DECLARE ……………I
Code
DECLARE Myname: String
INPUT Memory name
INPUT Myname
Myname
OUTPUT String
Screen
Keyword used to print something on screen
Message Memory
Output Memory
To show data that stored in specific memory. Code
DECLARE Myname: String
DECLARE Myname: String
Output Memory name
INPUT Myname
INPUT Myname
No quotations. OUTPUT Myname
Quick question
Write a program that take from user his age and Screen
Print it back in appropriate form
Code
Myname
Operations String
Screen
Computers are capable of doing any calculation.
Write the equation and assign it to a memory to ……………I
be stored.
Operation is always related to DECLARE
Code
DECLARE Myname: String
Memory name M/N Opr M/N
INPUT Myname
Operations
Result
Numbers
Integer
Result 20 + 10
NUM1 NUM2
20 10
Integer Integer
Memory
Result NUM1 + NUM2
Quick question
Create a program that take a name and a number Screen
from the user which represent your age and show
them in appropriate way
-( Name is.... age is....)
Code
Quick question
Create program that take two numbers as an Screen
input and print their sum.
Code
Quick question
Design an algorithm that inputs 4 numbers and Screen
calculate its sum
Code
Quick question
Design an algorithm that inputs from the user the length of two
sides of a rectangle and the program calculates and displays Screen
both the perimeter and area of that rectangle.
-Perimeter of Rectangle = (Length+Width) * 2
-Area of Rectangle = Length * Width
Code
Quick question
Design an algorithm that inputs from the user
Screen
height and base lengths of a triangle and calculate
its area.
Area= ½ x Base x height
Code
Flowchart
It is defined by specific shapes.
Non-declarative language.
It has a start and end point that you have to
mention.
It all about writing pseudocode line but in shapes.
