Open Stanford Course: programming methodology 03

any questions to start off with before we dive into something new?

 

and this is something that we refer to in programming speak as an off-by-one bug.

 

and what's decomposition all about?

 

so if i were to say, what did you do before you got up or before you went to your first class this morning?

 

i basically rolled out of bed, and then i brushed my teeth.

 

im just gonna stick shower in here.

 

and sort of moving it on the teeth.

 

stepwise refinement

 

the whole process itself is something we refer to as top-down design.

 

and when this program is done running.

 

what we want to have happen is xxx.

 

at the random candy mercy.

 

the only question that comes up is xxx.

 

you get more of it for paying the same amount and somehow you feel like you were cheated.
