Hey Bill,
Since the students must be slacking off between semesters ;-) or have
replied to you directly, here's how I do it.
When writing code that I've not written before, I use comments to layout
the structure. It may look something like the following for converting
the time to a 12 hr format:
# get current time
# get hour
# if >= 12, set pm
# if > 12, sub 12
# format time and return
Then, I start putting in the code needed to make the comments "work".
Recently, I've started using test-driven development whereby I write
tests before writing code then write the code to pass the tests. We can
take it up at the meeting next week.
HTH,
William
