Answer 4

My approach might look like:
1) Define the problem
2) Work out how solve the problem.
3) Decide on data structures and algorithms.
4) Choose the programming​ language.
5) Then write sudo code, or a flow chart or simply decided which parts of the code are responsible for which​ process. ie functions or classes​ etc.
6) write the code.

Note this is overkill for short codes like the ones​ in the tutorials​.
Also some steps have some overlap.
