WHAT IS PROGRAMMING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is a set of rules that is unique to each programming language which defines how commands and instructions should be structured and ordered.
A
None of these.
B
Pseudocode
C
Algorithm
D
Syntax
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In computer science, the syntax of a computer language is the rules that define the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured statements or expressions in that language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flowcharts and pseudo code are both used before writing code, but pseudocode is linear while a flow chart isn’t. Also, a flowchart is graphical, while pseudocode is technical. With that in mind, a flow diagram is suitable for communicating between non-technical people and programmers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudocode is a “text-based” detail (algorithmic) design tool. The rules of Pseudocode are reasonably straightforward. All statements showing “dependency” are to be indented. These include while, do, for, if, switch.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flowcharts and algorithms are both required for every programming language. It helps to solve complex problems as it breaks down into simpler steps. A flowchart is the graphical representation of the steps of a program, while an algorithm is a step-by-step method written in simple English.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is used in planning an algorithm with sketching out the structure of the program before the actual coding takes place. Pseudocode is understood by the programmers of all types. it enables the programmer to concentrate only on the algorithm part of the code development.
