Program Design Language (or PDL, for short) is a method for designing and documenting methods and procedures in software. It is related to pseudocode, but unlike pseudocode, it is written in plain language without any terms that could suggest the use of any programming language or library.

program design The activity of progressing from a specification of some required program to a description of the program itself. Most phase models of the software life cycle recognize program design as one of the phases. The input to this phase is a specification of what the program is required to do. During the phase the design decisions are made as to how the program will meet these requirements, and the output of the phase is a description of the program in some form that provides a suitable basis for subsequent implementation.

Frequently the design phase is divided into two subphases, one of coarse architectural design and one of detailed design. The architectural design produces a description of the program at a gross level; it is normally given in terms of the major components of the program and their interrelationships, the main algorithms that these components employ, and the major data structures. The detailed design then refines the architectural design to the stage where actual implementation can begin.

American English always uses program. In British English, program refers to computer programs and their programming. Computer programming (often shortened to programming) I'm engaged in programming. program An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine. program a series of software instructions to control the operation of a computer. A computer program is a general structured collection of instruction sequences that perform a specific task when executed by a computer. A computer requires programs to function. A computer program is usually written by a computer programmer in a programming language. “programme” is used for all other senses of the word. New Zealanders tend to go along with the British distinction, and programme is preferred by government and the media. Australians have for several decades been moving steadily to adopt program for all senses, but programme is still used, albeit much less commonly, and seldom in the media and official publications. Americans and Canadians don’t use programme at all, preferring program for all senses of the word. "program" is used when talking of the IT world.

You're a madman, Angel2014fly!
This was definitely worth the four year wait.
Do not argue with the angel2014fly and read again all the above and links too.
does not look safe. rvr link is suspect and program is misspelled in the other link.

don't link to junk. Just post what you need to post directly in.

I'm sure I reported this when it was first posted as a suspicious post, probably a compromised account, copypasting lumps of text from reference sources elsewhere; for example, here: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/121704/when-referring-to-computer-coding-would-the-correct-verb-spelling-in-british-e

Possibly posting bad links, possibly building a post-count before engaging in waves of spam.

Then I reported it again. And again. And it always seems to come back as not reported.

Open the Pocket Oxford Dictionary & Thesaurus dictionary, read the fifth paragraph about the program and study in DIT subject Program Design, and do not just think about the syllabus.

Programme design involves creating an overall structure for an entire programme of study. It means developing an overarching view of how the types of learning and assessment in various modules work together.

This is the material from Program Design and it is not related to programming, please speak with Sean O'Leary.
Please, punish Dee doyle and Joanna Ozarowska
They ruined my work.
Phone Number:
01 700 8851
Email Address:
joanne.ozarowska@dcu.ie


Dee Doyle said that “computer programme” because this is British English and poked the word programme and also she still had a lot of things that were not right speaking and mocking.
Joanna, specially has written in my persanal Statement
In my free time, I write programs.
And immediately immediately laughed and talked about why the computer.


I was in her loom in a psychiatric hospital, the ecstasy, the luminosity, and the hypnotist worked. and they understood the police.

OVERVIEW
program design language

QUICK REFERENCE
(PDL)

A language, used for expressing program designs, that is similar to a conventional high-level programming language but emphasizes structure and intention rather than the ability to execute programs expressed in the language. PDLs are often employed in conjunction with structured programming. When not executable they are termed pseudolanguages.

Typically the formal syntax of a PDL would cover data definition and overall program structure. Facilities in the latter area would include the basic control-flow constructs – sequential, conditional, and iterative – plus those for the definition and invocation of subroutines. These facilities would be used to define the overall framework of the program, but individual actions within the framework would be expressed using pseudolanguage – natural English mixed with a more formal semantically rich language. Correspondingly, the PDL facilities for data definition may be expected to be richer than those of a typical programming language, encompassing a ... Show More

In computing, a program is a specific set of ordered operations for a computer to perform. In the modern computer that John von Neumann outlined in 1945, the program contains a one-at-a-time sequence of instructions that the computer follows. programming in a natural language, say the full scope of the English language, seems like a very difficult task. But, before moving on to languages we can write programs in today, I want to leave on a high note.
Here you can learn different types of Programming like C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Android, PHP, Dot Net, JavaScript and many more.
