Question 1

Pseudocode is a technique for representing program logic.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 2

Define coding and explain how it is performed.

Accepted Answer

Coding is the process of turning program logic into specific instructions that the computer system can execute.Working from a specific design,a programmer uses a programming language to transform program logic into code statements.An individual programmer might create a small program,while larger programs typically are divided into modules that several individuals or groups can work on simultaneously.

A)  phased operation 
B)  parallel operation 
C)  pilot operation 
D)  direct cutover 
A)  phased operation 
B)  parallel operation
