Many universities and community colleges require a programming logic course as a prerequisite for all programming courses. Other educational institutions integrate logic into the programming course. Proponents of programming logic as a prerequisite course point out that programming logic is part of Step $2$ within the program development life cycle. They argue that a student must have the necessary background and an understanding of design before they tackle the programming language. Writing the code does not take place until Step $4.$ Proponents of programming logic as an integrated part of a programming course suggest that students cannot learn logic and a programming language independently. They believe that applying logic as they learn the programming language is the best approach. With which approach do you agree? Why did you choose that approach? Do you think the learning style of the individual student could determine the best approach?Should educational institutions provide both options prerequisite and integrated approaches?
