5. a process of designing
and writing computer
programs that make the
workings of a computer
more efficient.

6. How does
computer
programming
work?

7. How does
computer
programming
work?
At its most basic,
programming tells a
computer what to do.

8. How does computer programming
work?
• First, a programmer writes code—a set of letters,
numbers, and other characters.
• Next, a compiler converts each line of code into a
language a computer can understand.
• Then, the computer scans the code and executes it,
thereby performing a task or series of tasks.
• Tasks might include displaying an image on a webpage
or changing the font of a section of text.

9. Why
programming
is important?

10. Why
programming is
important?
Computer programming is
one of the most important
aspects of modern life.

11. Why
programming is
important?
In today’s society, knowing
how to computer program
is one of the most valuable
skills somebody can
possess. It is an essential
tool that enables us to
communicate with
computers and complete
tasks.

12. Why
programming is
important?
Computer programming
is a highly sought-after
skill in an increasingly
technological world.

13. Difference between
Program, Programmer,
and Programming
Languages

14. What is a
Program?

15. Program
a program is a set of
instructions for a computer,
telling is what to do or how
to behave.

16. What is a
Programmer?

17. Programmer
A programmer is a person
who create, develop and
write a program

18. Who can be a
Programmer?
Anyone who have
knowledge in
programming.

19. What is a
Programming
Language?

20. Programming
Language
a system of signs used by a
person to communicate a
task/algorithm to a
computer, causing the task
to be performed.

21. Programming
Language
Programming language is
more of a set of commands
that is formulated by the
user and executed by the
computer.

22. Fact!
A program is created using
different programming
languages.

23. Programming Cycle
Problem Definition
Problem Analyses
Algorithm
Development
Coding and
debugging

24. Problem Definition
What is the problem?

25. Problem Analysis
Breaking down the problem into smaller
sub problems.
• What programming language should
I use?
• Do I need other hardware or
software?

26. Algorithm Development
Strategy on how to do the task?
May be expressed in:
 Human Language
 Graphical Representation (Flowchart)
 Pseudocode

27. Coding and Debugging
The process of removing errors
