    Problem Solving
    • In order to create efficient & effective
    programs, we should adopt a proper
    problem solving methodology and
    use appropriate techniques.
    • Problem solving requires four main
    steps:
    1. Identify & analyze the problem.
    2. Find its solution & develop algorithm of
    the solution.
    3. Code the solution in a programming
    language.
    4. Test & debug the coded solution.
    Steps while writing a Program
    1. Understand the problem well
    2. Analyze the problem
    a) Identify minimum number of input required for output.
    b) Identify processing component
    3. Design the program by:
    c) Deciding step by step solution
    d) Breaking down solution into simple steps.
    4. Code the program by:
    e) Identifying arithmetic & logical operations required for
    solutions.
    f) Using appropriate control structures (e.g. conditional or
    looping control structures).
    5. Test & Debug your program by:
    g) Finding errors in it. b) Rectifying errors
    6. Complete the documentation.
    7. Maintain your program
    Testing & Debugging
    • Testing is the process of finding errors in a
    program.
    • Debugging is the process of correcting errors
    found during the testing process.
    Algorithm
    • The set of rules that defines how a particular problem can be
    solved in finite number of steps is known as ALGORITHM.
    • An algorithm is composed of a finite set of steps, each of
    which may require one or more operations.
    • Characteristics of Algorithm:
    a) Precision b) Uniqueness c) Finiteness
    d) Input e) Output
    • Component of Algorithm:
    a) Input b) Processing c) Output
    • The success of a program depends upon the algorithm.
    Therefore, logic of the problem must be clearly expressed in
    the algorithm.
    Pseudocode (स्यूडो कोड)

    • Pseudocode is an informal way of describing the steps of a


    program’s solution without using any strict programming
    language syntax or underlying technology considerations.
    • It is used for creating an outline or a rough draft of a
    program. Pseudocode summarizes a program's flow, but
    excludes underlying details.
    • In pseudocode, usually the instructions are written in
    uppercase, variables in lowercase and messages in sentence
    case.
