    Study Notes

    Programming Language Errors

    • A violation of the rules of a specific programming language is a syntax error.

    Software Development Stages

    • Testing and debugging are primarily carried out during the testing phase of software development.

    Program Errors

    • Runtime errors occur while a program is executing.
    • Logical errors result in incorrect or inappropriate output or calculation.

    Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)

    • IDEs assist programmers in debugging programs by providing tools like breakpoints, step-by-step execution, and variable inspection.

    Program Design Tools

    • Structured English analyzes and consolidates a problem.
    • Flowcharts illustrate the sequence of instructions for a solution.
    • Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) provide a graphical representation of an algorithm or pseudocode.

    IPO Chart

    • An IPO chart focuses on the input, processing, and output of a program module.

    Module Structure Diagram

    • A module structure diagram shows the modules and their interaction or linkages in a program.
