WHAT IS PROGRAMMING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Horatio has an idea for the program he would like to use as his final project. Before he starts coding, he wants to write out the algorithm using short informal phrases to describe the program steps (such as SalesTax= 0.006 or Output Results) to see how the code should be structured. This is known as:
A
pseudocode
B
logical thinking
C
formatting
D
flowcharts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Horatio has an idea for the program he would like to use as his final project. Before he starts coding, he wants to write out the algorithm using short informal phrases to describe the program steps (such as Sales Tax= 0.006 or Output Results) to see how the code should be structured. This is known as: pseudocode.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition: Debugging is the process of detecting and removing of existing and potential errors (also called as ‘bugs’) in a software code that can cause it to behave unexpectedly or crash. To prevent incorrect operation of a software or system, debugging is used to find and resolve bugs or defects.

Detailed explanation-3: -Code tracing is a method in which the programmer uses paper and pencil to hand trace the execution of a program or code segment in order to track the variable values as they change during execution and to determine the output of the code.

Detailed explanation-4: -A syntax error will happen, and this will stop the program from running.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pseudocode is a simplified representation of an algorithm that uses the English language to describe coding logic. It allows programmers to plan any algorithm’s structure using simple commands. Pseudocode primarily uses plain text to describe various coding actions and their correct sequence in the algorithm.
