What is Problem Solving in Computer Programming?
Problem solving is the process of identifying a problem, developing an algorithm for the identified problem and finally implementing the algorithm to develop a computer program.
A computer processes data by obeying a sequence of instructions called programs. A computer does not assist people in organizing their thoughts. You must have your solution procedure in hand, and the computer merely manipulates data according to your prescription.
If your solution is wrong, your computer output will be wrong, “Garbage In Garbage Out” GIGO. The solution procedure required by the computer is called an Algorithm.
Computer Problem Solving Phases:
To solve problems with computers, we must go through the following steps:
1. Define the Problem:
This means defining the parameters within which the problem must be solved. Programmers must understand the problem and what it entails.
2. Problem Analysis:
This involves decomposing the overall problem into smaller parts to identify possible inputs, processes and outputs associated with the problem.
