Chapter 7, Problem 40E
Program Plan Intro
a.
Problem-solving strategy:
- It is an idea for solving a problem.
- Different type of strategies is used to solve the different type of problems.
- User can use a one or more strategy to solve a single problem.
- The problem can be solved by many ways but the user should have to find which way provides better solution with proper steps.
Types of strategies in problem-solving:
There are three strategies are present in the problem solving:
- Ask questions:
- This strategy usually asks questions about the problem or task, and identifies the clear information and facts about the problem.
- This strategy asks the questions such as “when”, “why”, and “where” until the problem or task is clearly and entirely understood.
- Looks for familiar things:
- Some problems have repeatedly happened in computing so it is useful for user identifying the familiar steps that will useful to solve the problem.
- If the solutions already exist for the given or same problem, then just repeat the given steps to solve the problem.
- User need not to determine the new steps to solve the given problem.
- Divide and conquer:
- User can easily handle the problem by dividing the larger problems into smaller ones.
- It means tasks are split into subtasks. Each subtask is split into sub-subtask if needed.
- This strategy can be applied repeatedly until each subtask is determined.
- Example for this strategy is quick sort and binary search
algorithm .
- Example for this strategy is quick sort and binary search
- User can easily handle the problem by dividing the larger problems into smaller ones.
