What do you feel makes a good program?..

Answer / suresh babu

A good program should have the qualities like:
1. Correctness: It is the most important of the qualities.
A program that fails to produce correct results is
worthless.
2. Readability: Readability means the program shoud be
written in such a way that if a person wants to read and
understand the program, it shoud be possible for him to do
so without much difficulty. It is the primary objective of
structured programming.
3. Portability: A portable program is the one that can be
executed on different machines(with different compilers)
without any change or with only minor changes if required.
