Comment First Coding and the Importance of planning wall display
- 1. Let’s Plan! It’s a simple process: Planning is important 1. Plan your logic—draw flow diagrams, write pseudocode. 2. Turn your pseudocode into code comments. 3. Write code between the comments. Imagine what would happen if nobody ever planned anything. Buildings would not stand up under their own weight, cars would not run and you couldn’t watch TV as the satellites would have never leŌ the ground! Not a preƩy sight is it? Now let’s scale it back. Imaŕine you wrote a proŕram with no planninŕ. You’d end up with poorly wriƩen code that may not even work correctly and will be very difficult for anyone, even you, to maintain or work with. 4. If you find yourself wriƟng lots of code for one comment, you need to rethink your logic. What is pseudocode? We plan all kinds of stuff! A plain Enŕlish description of the function of a proŕram. It does not contain syntax or other implementation details.
