A complete program includes plans for the transcription of data, coding
for the computer, and plans for the absorption of the results into the system.
The list of coded instructions, called a routine, plans a computation or
process from the asking of a question to the delivery of the result, including
the integration of the operation into an existing system. Thus, programming
consists of planning and coding, including numerical analysis, systems
analysis, specification of printing formats, and any other functions necessary
to the integration of a computer in a system. [[/a>|/a>]][[/a>|/a>
