Answer 2

1. Creating a computer program. The steps are:



1. Developing the program logic to solve the



particular problem.



2. Writing the program logic in a specific



programming language (coding the program).



3. Assembling or compiling the program to turn



it into machine language.



4. Testing and debugging the program.



5. Preparing the necessary documentation.



The logic is generally the most difficult part of programming. However, depending on the programming language, writing the statements may also be laborious. One thing is certain. Documenting the program is considered the most annoying activity by most programmers. See estimating a programming job and peer review.

Answer 3

I'd agree with xizzi for the most part, but I'd simplify the definition of a program to "A collection of computer instructions that, when executed in a particular order, performs a particular function."



I'd also quibble about a couple of items in their list of languages:



HTML and XML - not programming languages, technically. Instead, they are methods of adding tags surrounding blocks of data which programs (browsers in the first case, various programs in the second) can then interpet to process the data blocks in the appropriate manner.

1- Computer Program: a sequence of computer instructions executed in serial or in parallel to accomplish some tasks



2- computer programming languages:

+Object Oriented

+Procedural
