    Aren’t you supposed to write out the broad-strokes of what you’re trying to do, that way when you get to the computer, you already know what you’re trying to write & you have an outline to reference.

      You write it up only to write it up? Sounds like two times the work with no benefit. And what if someone breaks your concentration while you write the strokes up?

        That’s what I was taught. Right an outline, in English or what you speak, of what each component of the program is supposed to do, then you write the actual components, in code, on the computer.
