A programmer’s job involves writing instructions (such as those in the doubling program in
the preceding section), but a professional programmer usually does not just sit down at a
computer keyboard and start typing. Figure 1-1 illustrates the program development cycle,
which can be broken down into at least seven steps:
1. Understand the problem.
2. Plan the logic.
3. Code the program.
4. Use software (a compiler or interpreter) to translate the program into machine language.
5. Test the program.
6. Put the program into production.
7. Maintain the program.
