Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process of
programming an application. (LO1)
1. Provide a definition of what an algorithm is and outline the process in building
an application. (P1)
1.1 Define Algorithms
1.1.1 An algorithm is a method or technique that is used to solve a problem. It works by
having your computer do a series of predefined actions that define how to accomplish
something, and your computer will execute it exactly the same way every time.

 Flowchart symbols:
- is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm
- It uses a variety of symbols to describe the steps necessary to solve an issue.

Performed Student: Nguyen Van A 2

 Figure 1-15: Flowchart symbols

 More
information:
- The shape of the oval indicates whether the algorithm is at its beginning or end. Its
material is generally divided into two sections: "beginning" and "ending."

Performed Student: Nguyen Van A 3

  The following are some examples of flow charts in schematic form:
- The program begins initially, then reads two numbers, a and
b, as shown in the flow chart.
- The program proceeds by adding two numbers, a and b.
- And lastly, the program writes the result on the screen and exits.
 This is one of the program's most basic algorithms.

1.3 Characteristic of Algorithms

- Finiteness: An algorithm should have finite number of steps and it should end after a finite
time.
- Input: An algorithm may have many inputs or no inputs at all.
- Output: It should result at least one output.
- Definiteness: Each step must be clear, well-defined and precise. There should be no any
ambiguity.
- Effectiveness: Each step must be simple and should take a finite amount of time

 Create a good algorithm by following these steps:

- The issue can have a variety of solutions, but it will still produce outcomes.
A good algorithm, on the other hand, will make our software run quicker, the code will be
shorter, and it will help our program run with as few or no mistakes as possible, and the

Performed Student: Nguyen Van A 4

computer will do it faster than if the algorithm is done poorly.
- Your software does not necessitate the usage of a high-end machine.
 To design an algorithm, we must first implement it and consider the following
issues:
 Finality: The algorithm requires an endpoint, and the loops that are produced
require a breakpoint to avoid infinite loops. The algorithm's number of steps is
limited.
 Efficiency and dependability: The problem's output must not be
inconsistent or contradictory to the problem's requirements.
 Exactly: The algorithm's findings satisfy the problem's requirements.
 Efficiency and resiliency: When it comes to comparable issues, algorithms
must be adaptable.
 Nimble: The best algorithm will meet the processing time and deliver quick results.
 Examples of how to use block diagrams, create excellent algorithms, and
apply algorithm characteristics include:
Problem solving first-degree equations:
 Input: Enter number a and b.
 Output: Display the solution of the equation.

 Note: When multiple algorithms are used to solve a problem, the solution is the
same. We should select the most efficient algorithm. It will aid in the faster and better
performance of our software.
1.1 The process in building an application.
 A set of basic algorithm steps for carrying out a task:
 Defining or analyzing the problem
 Design (Algorithm)
 Coding
 Documenting the program
 Compiling and running the program
 Debugging and testing
 Maintenance Figure 1-21: The software development
cycle
 Defining and Analyzing the Problem:
- We investigates the issue in this stage. we
determine the most effective method for resolving these
issues. Studying an issue is also important since it aids
a programmer in making
decisions concerning the following: Figure 1-22: Analyzing the
Problem
 The data and statistics required for the program's development.
 The way the program will be put together.
 In addition, the language in which the program will work best.
 What is the desired output and in what format is it required, …etc.

  Step 5: Testing
 Firstly, I try three random numbers to see if the equation works like it should?

Figure 1-30: Try three random numbers

 Next, I let a = 0, b and c be 2 random numbers.

Figure 1-31: a = 0, b and c be 2 random

numbers
 Next, I let a = 0, b = 0 and c be a random number.

Figure 1-32: a = 0, b = 0, c be a random

number.
 a = 0, b = 0 and c = 0.

Figure 1-33: a = 0, b = 0 and c = 0.

 Step 6:
Deployment
- In software and online development, deployment refers to the process of
Performed Student: 13
moving changes or updates from one deployment
environment to another.

Figure 1-34: Deployment

Performed Student: 14
 - When building a website, you'll always have your live website, often known
as the production environment or live environment.
 Step 7: Operation and Maintenance
- Web Application Development is vital, but so is system maintenance.
- It keeps solutions agile in order to adapt with rapidly changing technology and
business conditions.
- Once the operation is completed, it is followed by a lengthy management phase.
- Software maintenance include enhancing software performance by
improved development, lowering mistakes, and removing unnecessary
development.

Determine the steps taken from writing code to execution. (M1)
The steps for compiling a C# program are as follows:
 Creating a Managed Module from Source Code.
 Adding a new managed module to the
assembly / assemblies.
 The CLR is being loaded.
 CRL is in charge of putting the assembly together.
- Every.NET program is initially compiled
using the proper compiler, for example, if we develop a
program in C#, it
is compiled using the C# compiler. Figure 1-36: Compile a C#

Performed Student: 15
 program
- CLR is used by every program in the.NET framework to execute
(communicate) in an operating system (Common Language Runtime).

Performed Student: 16
  Compiling Source Code into Managed Module:
- The.NET framework has its own compiler for
each language. JavaScript has a Jscript compiler, for
example, and C# has a C# compiler.
- A Managed Module is created whenever source
code is generated by the proper compiler. Figure 1-37: Module that is being
managed
- If we write a console program and build it, we will get an.exe file. When we
construct a web application,.dll files are generated.
- The Managed Module is a Windows Portable Executable (PE) file that contains the
following components:
 PE Header
 CLR Header
 Metadata
 Combining newly created managed module into the assembly / assemblies:
- The terms "assembly" and ".dll" or ".exe" refer to the same thing. There are
several software files in a web application that are developed in various languages. This
assembly integrates and assembles into a single unit. It also includes pictures (sometimes
known as resource files) and a number of controlled modules.

Figure 1-38: Combining newly created managed module

 Loading the CLR:
- Each software is stored on a hard drive. Each file should be loaded into RAM from
a hard disk, converting magnetic address space to electric address space. This is
achievable with the Loader's assistance.

Performed Student: 17
  Executing the assembly in & by CLR:
- The acronym CLR stands for Common Language Runtime. It's the brains behind the.NET
framework, and it's what allows a program to run on a computer.
- Garbage collection, code verification, memory management, code access security, and IL to Native
translation are some of the features provided by CLR.
- PE Header, CLR Header, Metadata, and Address Table values are all visible.
