What is Computer Programme?

A computer programme is a sequence of instructions


written using a Computer Programming
Language to perform a specified task by the
computer.
What can Computer programme do?
Programming Environment

we can do our programming.

Understanding the Problem
What are the inputs into the problem?

What will be the outputs of the problem?

In what order do instructions need to be carried


out?

What decisions need to be made in the problem

Are any areas of the problem repeated?


Pseudocode
• INPUT – indicates a user will be inputting something
• OUTPUT – indicates that an output will appear on the screen
• WHILE – a loop (iteration that has a condition at the beginning)
• FOR – a counting loop (iteration)
• REPEAT – UNTIL – a loop (iteration) that has a condition at the end
• IF – THEN – ELSE – a decision (selection) in which a choice is made
• any instructions that occur inside a selection or iteration are usually
indented
