Activity 3 – Formulating Algorithms

At this stage in the course you are expected to write your own programs. This is normally achieved by :

1.        Reading  the  problem statement

2.        Formulating the algorithm using pseudocode and top-down, stepwise 
     refinement

3.        Writing the Java program

4.        Testing, debugging and running the program

5.        Processing several sets of test data to make sure all paths through your  
     program are executed.
