Program Plan Intro

Problem Solving Strategies:

Problem solving is defined as the process of working on the description of a problem to obtain a solution.

Two types of problem solving strategy:

• Top-Down Approach:
  • Large program is subdivided into small subprograms called modules.
  • These modules are processed individually.
  • If combining these modules then it produces the entire program.
  • It is also called as Stepwise design.
• Bottom-Up Approach:
  • In this approach, first the individual elements are specified in very detail.
  • These individual elements are combined together which in turn combined in sequence of levels up to the complete larger system is obtained.

Explanation of Solution

Other approach used in problem solving strategy:

Bottom-Up Approach:

• In this approach, first the individual elements are specified in very detail...

Explanation of Solution

“Yes”, Bottom-up approach will be appropriate for problem solving.

Reasons:

• When existing components are taken into the account, bottom-up approach is used...
