• Definitions:
1- Problem: any situation needed to be solved or removed
2- Problem statement: a description of the problem to be solved.
3- An algorithm: is merely the sequence of steps taken to solve a problem.
4- Flowchart: is a procedure for solving a problem in terms of the actions to be
executed and the order in which those actions are to be executed.
5- Pseudocode: An English-like nonstandard language that lets you state your
solution with more precision than you can in plain English but with less
precision than is required when using a formal programming language.
6- programming language: is a set of rules that provides a way of instructing
the computer what operations to perform.
7- Compiler: translates your entire program at one time.
8- Interpreter: translates the program instruction step by step.
9- Documentation: is a written detailed description pursue more exciting
computer of the programming cycle and specific facts about the program.
