In this unit, we are exploring the idea of a conceptual model. In order to develop effective and efficient programs, we need to develop a design for the program. The worst thing that a programming could do is to simply sit down and attempt to write a program. Preparation is required. Many of you have have taken a course in writing. You will remember that we are taught techniques such as outlining, or diagramming to build a framework of what we are to write. The basic idea of these techniques is to have a good idea of what you are going to write, the points you will make, the flow of the piece, the conclusions that you must reach BEFORE you pen the first word.
Programming follows a similar process. Before we, as programmers, attempt to write the first line of code, we need to have a pretty good understanding of how the program will be constructed, how it will flow, what processes it will need to perform, and what error checks will be required. We develop this plan, or 'conceptual model' as I like to refer to it, using one of two modeling approaches. In this unit we learned about flowcharts which provide a visual diagrammed approach to describing the operation and flow of a program as well as pseudo code which uses formatted English like statements to describe the operation of the program.
In your discussion response, provide a description of both flowcharts and pseudo code. Discuss the advantages of each and describe any disadvantages that might make you want to use one method over the other.
