what is 'syntax'?

sometimes..
my head is just like shoot by someone..


haha..
it's very not a good example..
actually it was about something
like syntax error..
have you ever having the same 
situation like me..?
when i use my computer,
the computer write this word
"....syntax error.."
wait..!
what is that..?

now i know what is it..
thanks to my textbook

for your info,
it is a violations of the rules of a 
programming language.
in the textbook,
the example given was
'when omitting a semicolon at the end of a C++ 
statement..
this means that
in C++, each statement must be
end with a semicolon (;)

i'm providing this link..
just read to know more..
to know how to fix it,
read this link..

actually, this topic is in chapter 14
and it is in the step 4..
step for program test..

now, let me talk about the methods 
on how to find and remove those errors

1. desk checking
careful reading of a printout of the program

2. manual testing
can use calculator & sample data
to test for a correct programming logic

3. attempt at translation
we run the program using a translator program
to identify syntax errors

4. testing sample data
test the program for logic errors using sample data

5. beta testing
it is the final step.

this is the final one..(o.0)

users try the program and provide feedback




enough with this?


Have you guys 
notice something..?
Actually, in last entry, i’ve
Just mentioning about the 6-steps in
Programming..
Now, i’m going to explain a little bit
About it..


For program specification,
It is about defining objectives, inputs,
Outputs & processing requirements

2nd step is about
Creating a solution using structured programming tools

Then, for program code,
We use it when writing / coding the program
By using a programming language..

We can also testing/ debugging the program
By looking for syntax & logic errors..this
Step is for program test..

For program documentation,
It is the ongoing process throughout the
Programming process

And the last one is program maintenance..
Of course it is about periodic evaluation
So that everything is going smoothly..

That’s all was just about the 6 steps..
And of course it was so simple..


To make it a little bit hard, i should
Mention you guys that actually every step
Has it’s own elaboration..

elaborating something..


If i’m going to talk about it all in the entry,
You guys will hate me as i’m talking
Like a grandma..


so,
I’ll talk about it later on..
But please to consider that i’m
Going to choose only a few steps to
Talk about..
Because i’m not that hardworking..
Haha..so, that is what’s 
the truth about me


ohh!
forget like grandma too..
all of the info,
i've taken it from
Computing Essentials Complete 2011
..how i like this book..!

so sad


I guess i’m
Gonna miss this course..
Why guys..? why..?
Haha..because, this week,
We’ve entered chapter 14..
And for your info,
Only 15 chapters in the textbook..
Ok..no touching2..
Let me just proceed  to our learning today
As mentioned, today
I want to talk about
Programming & languages..
1st, we need to know what is program..
It’s so simple..program is just a list
Of instructions for the computer to follow..
But....! what about programming..?
Is it just the same..?
Actually, it is almost the same..
Serious..i’m not lying you guys..
It is a 6-step procedure in creating that
List of instructions..
That is what has been wrote in the
Computing Essentials Complete 2011
Want to know more..?
Just right click here...
According to this textbook,
Those 6 steps are

like this steps..hehe

* Program spesification
*program design
*program code
*program test
*program documentation
*program maintenance..

Everything is program..
Program this..program that..
Haha..
I’m just kidding..
By the way, normally only
Programmers use this 6 steps procedure..



They are the computer professionals which
Also known as software engineers..!
I thought that i have to explain more
In the next entry..
Just wait for my entry ok..?
But before that,
Wish me luck for my quiz based on this chapter..
I can’t wait..huhu..

time is short..so scary
