Program specifications are detailed descriptions or requirements that outline what a program should do, including its functionality and behavior. They provide a clear understanding of how the program should be designed and implemented.
Think of program specifications as a recipe for baking a cake. The recipe provides step-by-step instructions on what ingredients to use, how to mix them, and how long to bake the cake. Similarly, program specifications provide developers with specific instructions on how to create a software program.
