Data Dictionary & Desk Checking Guides

[MJRomeo81]

These are often overlooked aspects of programming SACs. I have compiled two guides that aim to provide a quick overview of desk checking and also all you need to know about data dictionaries.

Let me stress that your algorithms / implementations of logic are far more important than the code. Nothing is more frustrating than writing over 100 lines of code and then discovering a logic error when testing your programs. Additionally, it is better to plan out all the variables / data structures in your program before adding them as you go when coding.

Remember, you will not be required to write code in the exam. However, you can be examined on writing pseudocode / stepping through an algorithm.

The two guides have been attached.
