Software Programming

Software Programming

In order to make a computer a set of instructions need to be programmed, as these programmed languages are carries to the performance of a task.

Likewise, a computer accepts user’s instruction in the form of computer programming and then carries out the  given tasks.



Features of Software Programming

A computer program, which automatically is a set of instructions and the helps of computer to perform a specific tasks, has the following basic features –

  • It ensures the given instructions are performed successfully.
  • It ensures the given instructions are performed sequential order.
  • Explain the input (data) given is correct or insufficient and accordingly given the result.
  • It is written with high level language.

Steps to Development of Program

development of programming language is entirely dependent on the kind of problem and requirement. However, development of a programming language normally (not essentially, but)included the following steps –

defining the Problem

This is the first step, where in the problem has to be defined.



Analysis of Tasks and Methods

Once the problem is defined, the developer analyzes and develops various solution in order to solve the problem and finally, the best feasible solution is developed.

Development of Algorithm

Algorithm is a proper technique that illustrates the right solution in logical and feasible steps. Algorithm is normally done in the form of flowcharts and pseudo codes.

Verification of Algorithm

Once the algorithm is developed, it cannot be applied directly rather primarily needs to be tested specially for the accuracy. If there is any error, it is rectified and solved in beginning itself. The verification process saves time, money, and energy.

Coding

Once the basic process and step are completed successfully, then the actual coding of a program stars in the given programming language.

Testing of Programming

Testing of the development of program code is another essential feature, as it is bound with errors; hence, testing makes it error free. The developer keeps testing  and correcting the coding until he/she develops it finally.

Documentation

Once the coding of programming is done successfully, it is the job of the developer to document all these feature and steps. The documented program instructs users on how to run and operate the respective program.

Implementation

Once the above steps are executed successfully, the developed codes (programming language) are installed in the computer system for the end users. Are also manual – explaining how to run the respective programs.

GENOMICS

Genomics : The term Genome (introduced by H. Winkler in 1920) is the total genetic constitution of an organism. Alternatively, it is a complete copy of genetic information (DNA) or one complete set of chromosomes (monoploid or haploid) of an organism. The term Genomics (term coined by T.H. Roderick in 1986) is the study of genomes through analysis, sequencing and mapping of genes along with the study of their functions.

The discovery of DNA

Modern understanding of DNA has evolved from the discovery of nucleic acid to the development of the double-helix model. In 1869, Friedrich Miescher began working with white blood cells which are the major component of pus from infections. He collected a lot of pus from bandages at the local hospital. He used a salt solution to wash the pus off the bandages. When he added a weak alkaline solution to the cells. The cells lysed and nuclei precipitated out of the solution. From the cell nuclei he isolated a unique chemical substance to which he called nuclein. Chemically, nuclein has high phosphorus content. Moreover it showed acidic properties. Hence it was named as nucleic acid.        By the early 1900s, we knew that Miescher’s nuclein was a mix (mixture) of proteins and nucleic acids. There are two kinds of nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonuclic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
