Programming steps
To write a (1) program, software engineers usually follow these steps:
First of all, they try to understand exactly what the problem is and decide, in a
general way, how to solve it.
The next phase is to design a step-by-step plan of instructions. This usually takes the
form of a (2) flowchart, a diagram that uses special symbols showing the logical
relationship between the parts of the program.
Next, they write the instructions in a high-level computer language like PASCAL,
COBOL, or C++. This is called (3) coding. The program is then (4) compiled, a
process that converts the source code into machine code.
When the program is written, it must be tested with sample data to see if there are (5)
bugs or errors. Correcting these errors is called (6) debugging. Software developers
conduct a series of tests until the program runs smoothly.
Finally, they write detailed (7) documentation for users. Manuals tell us how to use
