Program Development Life Cycle: Title Page

The document outlines the software development life cycle process which includes problem definition, problem analysis, algorithm design and representation, coding, and debugging. It provides examples walking through each step to solve the problem of determining how many times a name occurs in a list. The examples demonstrate expressing the algorithm in human language, flowcharts, and pseudocode to design a solution before moving to the coding and debugging stage.

1. Problem Definition

Guide Card ● A clearly defined problem is already half the


solution.
● Computer programming requires us to define
Activity the problem first before we even try to create a
solution.
● Let us now define our example problem:
Generalization “Create a program that will determine the
number of times a name occurs in a list.”

2. Problem Analysis
Guide Card
● After the problem has been adequately defined,
the simplest and yet the most efficient and effective
Activity approach to solve the problem must be formulated.

● Usually, this step involves breaking up the


Generalization problem into smaller and simpler sub-problems.

● Example Problem:

Guide Card – Determine the number of times a name


occurs in a list
● Input to the program:
Activity – list of names (let's call this nameList)
– name to look for (let's call this keyName)
● Output of the program:
Generalization
– the number of times the name occurs in a list

Guide Card ● Algorithm


– a clear and unambiguous specification of the
steps needed to solve a problem.
Activity – It may be expressed in either :
● Human language (English, Tagalog)
● Graphical representation like a flowchart
Generalization ● Pseudocode - which is a cross between human
language and a programming language NEXT

● Expressing our solution through Human language:
1. Get the list of names, let's call this nameList
Guide Card 2. Get the name to look for, let's call this the keyname
3. Compare the keyname to each of the names in
nameList
Activity 4. If the keyname is the same with a name in the list,
add 1 to the
count
Generalization 5. If all the names have been compared, output the
