Computer Languages

To write a program for a computer, we must use a computer


language. Over the years computer languages have evolved
from machine language to natural languages.

Creating and Running Programs

In this section, we explain the procedure for turning a program


written in C into machine language. The process is presented in
a straightforward, linear fashion, but you should recognize that
these steps are repeated many times during development to
correct errors and make improvements to the code.

Topics discussed in this section:


Writing and Editing Programs
Compiling Programs
Linking Programs
Executing Programs

System Development

Weve now seen the steps that are necessary to build a program.
In this section, we discuss how we go about developing a
program. This critical process determines the overall quality
and success of our program. If we carefully design each
program using good structured development techniques, our
programs will be efficient, error-free, and easy to maintain.

Except for the most simple program, one set of
test data will not completely validate a program.
