Document Summary

Algorithm: step-by-step procedure devised to process the given data and produce the requested output. Mouse actions: hover, drag an obj, right click, click, double click. Program development cycle: analyze design (plan the solution) design the interface code test and debug complete the documentation. Sequence structure: move from one line to the next without skipping over any lines. Decision structure: require a decision to determine whether a series of instructions should be executed. Repetition structure (loop structure): executes instructions many times. Desk-checking: different data should be used as input to check the output testing the algorithm at the flowchart stage before coding. Ide (integrated development environment): the vb programming environment. Double: variable of whole, fractional or mixed numbers. Dim (declaration) statements: declare the names and types of the variables. Var = var + 1 is the same as var += n.
