Designing Steps in Solving Computational Problems

Before a computer can perform a task it must have an algorithm that tells it what to do.

An algorithm is a set of steps that defined how a task is performed. An algorithm is an ordered set of unambiguous executable steps, defining a terminating process.

Solving Computational Problem
Computational Problem is described by the property that the output has to satisfy given the input.

Problem Solving Techniques

• Analyse the problem
• Outline the problem requirements
• Design steps (algorithm) to solve the problem.

Algorithm Development

• Step by step problem-solving process
• Solution achieved in finished amount of time.

Problem Solving Process
Step 1 - Analyse the problem

• Outline the problem and it's requirement
• Design steps (algorithm) to solve the problem

Step 2 -Implement the algorithm

• Implement the algorithm in code
• Verify that the algorithm works

Step 3 - Maintenance

• Use and modify the program if the program domain changes

Below are examples of problem solve using algorithm:
