The Life Cycle of a Program
• Programming is the process of translating
a task into a series of commands a
computer will use to perform that task
• Programming involves:
– Identifying the parts of a task the computer
can perform
– Describing tasks in a specific and complete
manner
– Translating the tasks into a language that is
understood by the computer’s CPU
