Explanation of Solution

Developing a program:

There are many steps to develop the program. It includes Analyze the program, Determine specification, Creating a Design, Implement the Design, Test/ Debug the Program and Maintain the Program.

Steps in software development process:

Analyze the program:

In this phase, the problem is analyzed clearly and figure out what the problem should solve. It requires the clear understating of the problem and the further analysis is made until the programmer really knows what the problem is.

Determine specification:

After analysis, it is responsible for the programmer to decide what will be the inputs and outputs of the program and how they should decide the factor, that how they relate to each other.

Creating a Design:

In this phase, the overall structure of the program is formulated. The main task in this phase is to design the algorithm that will meet the specifications.

Implement the Design:

In this phase, the created design is translated into a computer language and put it is into the computer. The implemented algorithm can be translated into programming languages like Python, C, C++, Java and so on.

Test/ Debug the Program:

In the phase, the developed program is tested and checks whether it runs properly without any error. The errors are often called as bugs in such cases, it should be tested and fix them. This process of locating and fixing errors is called debugging a program.

Maintain the Program:

In this phase, the program is continued to develop in response to the needs of the users. Most of the programs are never finished for such case it keeps evolving over years of use.

The Lottery Problem: •       The lottery draws a number that is the winning number •       The number should be between 0 and 999 •       Have someone play •       The person tells how many tickets they want •       The person always does “quick pick” (let the computer pick the number for them) and gets one number between 0 and 999 for each ticket bought •       The program reports how many tickets win of the ones bought •       NOTE: A ticket “wins” if it matches the winning number previously chosen •       Write working code with at least one function and one sub other than “main”
