An important topic to make functioning programs.

While the algorithm is the first step in creating computer programs, it’s generally not enough to build efficient applications. Instead, it can only be made when using algorithms with systematic thinking. Here are the details to help you systematically think while designing your programs.

1-Look at the problem

The problem generally became clearly defined when it comes to programming. Whether it’s a tutorial, homework, interview, or a project, they generally give clear descriptions of the problem. Then, you can analyze how the program would be made to find a solution.

2-Think potential ways for solutions

As soon as you had an idea for creating a program, there are three phases to solve a problem. First, you design a solution interpreted as codes. Second, you build the software and the final step would be dedicated to testing. But the problem is you can’t do all the steps alone. Instead, the whole team has to work for creating a solution when it comes to all three steps. Depending on the country, firms can divide all three or mixing all the processes of creating software-based solutions.

3-If necessary, read the codes like you read the book

One of the best ways to learn how to program is to look and read the codes. But it’s not the structures, it’s about what you understand from the program codes themselves. And the process can be made by looking at the program codes and interpreting what they mean into daily speaking language. It provides background information in the writing and implementation of computer programs written in different languages. But the trick requires basic knowledge in the programming language you work. The return would be way better if you look and interpret computer codes into daily written language when you create your own programs.

4-Remember that you can’t create programs alone

I remember when I was learning to program and I thought to myself that it’s possible to create a program. Well, it’s not because there are lots of aspects of programming from design to testing. Because all people can’t do all the steps at once, it requires differentiation in all the phases. And sometimes, all the members having to all the steps with synchronized working. In short, there’s no possibility to create efficient programs to solve problems required by clients.
