Document Summary

The focus of this chapter is on learning elementary programming techniques to solve problems. programs work and useful tool for inding errors in programs. Concatenate strings: the plus sign has two meanings, addiion and concatatening or combining strings. In this case the + is being used as a string concatenaion operator. Break a long string: a string cannot cross lines in the source code. To ix the error, break the string into separate substrings and sue the concatenaion operator to combine them. Wriing a program involves designing a strategy for solving the problem and then using a programming language to implement that strategy. Algorithm: describes how a problem is solved by lising the acions that need to be taken and the order of their execuion. Pseudocode: natural language mixed with some programming code. Code: write a program; when you code you translate an algorithm into a program. Variable: represents a value stored in the computer"s memory.
