What Are the Steps to Writing a Program?

When a developer is about to start writing a program, there are some steps that are not exactly mandatory but are almost essential to bring out a truly professional program. Let's take a look at these steps together.

1. Examining and analyzing the problem / task.
2. Proposing solutions, determining the path to be followed to solve the task with the shortest possible code.
3. Preparing an algorithm for the program and creating the flowchart.
4. The algorithm or flowchart is coded in the most suitable language according to the program / system on which the program will run.
5. The program is run in the editor where it has been coded and tested, and errors are fixed.
6. The correct functioning of the program is tested with known input and output values - validation is performed.

Analysis of the problem -> Most suitable solution path -> Algorithm - flowchart -> Coding -> Testing

This is how we can summarize the order above.
