4.1 Introduction to Problem Solving

  • Computerisation refers to using computers to automate routine human tasks efficiently
  • Computers cannot solve problems on their own - they need precise step-by-step instructions
  • Success depends on: correctly defining the problem, designing a solution (algorithm), implementing the solution (program)
2

4.2 Steps for Problem Solving

  • Step 1: Analysing the problem - understand what needs to be solved, identify inputs and outputs
  • Step 2: Developing an Algorithm - create solution in natural language with clear steps
  • Step 3: Coding - convert algorithm to programming language following proper syntax

4.3 Algorithm Fundamentals

  • Origin: Term comes from Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi (c. 850 AD)
  • Algorithms are like well-written recipes with clearly defined steps
  • Used in search engines, messaging, online banking, games, etc.

4.4 Representation of Algorithms

  • Two main methods: Flowchart (visual) and Pseudocode (text-based)
  • Both should showcase logic excluding implementation details
  • Both should clearly reveal flow of control during execution
