Introduction To Programming By Using "C Language" Lecture 1

Definition: "A program is a precise sequence of steps to solve a particular problem.” It means that when we say that we have a program, it actually mean that we know about a complete set activities to be performed in a particular order. The purpose of these activities is to solve a given problem.
Alan Perlis, a professor at Yale University, says: "It goes against the grain of modern education to teach children to program. What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail and learning to be self-critical? "
Points to remember
The major points to keep in mind are:
o Don’t assume on the part of the users
o User Interface should be friendly
o Don’t forget to comment the code
o PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL
o Program, program and program, not just writing code, but the whole process of design and development.
