Description of Each of the Stages in Program Development
(i) Problem Definition
This step is very important for the completion of a satisfactory program. It is impossible to solve a problem without a clear understanding and identification of the problem. The programmer is expected to first of all understand the problem and know exactly what the program requires. Inadequate identification of problem will lead to poor performance of the system. The programmer should put his significant portion of time in problem identification. If he does not spend enough time at this stage, he may find that his well-written program fails to solve the real problem.
