So with all these varibles etc. How do you determine what's doing what?
File names and so forth?
Is the algorithm part? Pencil and Paper part... This one of the first
steps and where I bog down.
Determining where to start, or what must happen first, second,
third...etc
I guess after it is determined what you must do to get from the first
step to the last step, then you can figure out what files and names to
use.
Is this something that can be taught?
I imagine an experienced programmer has basic steps that they use in
whatever program they are writing. And steps they include when... say
they open a file they might check to see if one exists first (just
guessingh here). They might also include error trapping routines so
that when the inevitble errors do crop up, they will at least leave a
trace.
Alright lets design something simple; open, read, and depending on what
is in the opened file, write a NEW file. Be it a score file or a record
of events, doesn't matter, the steps taken in the order they are taken
will show alot on how to solve a problem and deal with it.
Although this is addressed to Pistolgrip, let anyone jump in at any
time.
... Heisenberg may have slept here.
