How to write a programming algorithm

Could someone please fill me in on the steps they take when writing an Algorithm for a computer program.

I have a basic idea, and have seen heaps of examples on the net, and in my text books, but just want to know what other people do.

Cheers,

Ben

An algorithm is just a series of steps. Are you asking about how to outline an algorithm? If so, flow charts are useful.

Flow charts, yeh ok. Thanks man

How detailed would you go? Bit more then this (just an example)...

Code:

---

-Display message on screen: "What is your favourite number"
-Prompt for user input from keyboard
-Store input into variable number
-Display message on screen: "Your favourite number is "
-Get number from memory display on screen
-Display message:"sick one!"
