1. What does a professional programmer usually do first to gain an understanding of a problem?
The first thing a professional programmer will usually do to gain the understanding of a problem is to work with the customer to find out exactly what they are asking for from the program.

Pseudocode is an informal language that has no syntax rules, and is not meant to be compiled or executed.
3. Computer programs typically perform what three steps?
1. Input is received. 2. Some process is performed on the input.
3. Output is produced.
