Once the design process is complete, the actual computer program is written, i.e. the instructions are written in a computer language. Coding is generally a very small part of the entire program development process and also a less time consuming activity in reality. In this process all the syntax errors i.e. errors related to spelling, missing commas, undefined labels etc. are eliminated. For effective coding some of the guidelineswhich are applied are
v Use of meaningful names and labels of variables,
v Simple and clear expressions,
v Modularity with emphasis on making modules generalized,
v Making use of comments and indenting the code properly,
v Avoiding jumps in the program to transfer control.
