============================================================
SHORT QUESTIONS

Define Computer.
A computer is an electronic data processing device. It reads data processing and
produces results accurately at a very high speed.

What is algorithm and what is the role of algorithm in problem solving?


Algorithm:
Algorithm means method, procedure, technique or plan. It is a step-by-step pr blem
solving method. It is easy to understand and follow. It is a set of steps that clearly
defines a sequence of operations to solve a problem.
Role of Algorithm in Problem Solving:
Algorithm plays an important role in computer programming.
Computer programming is the process of taking an alg ri hm and coding it in a
programming language.
Formulating an algorithm is the first step for developi g a c mputer program.

What is a flowchart?
Flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of gorithm. It describes what operations
are required to solve a given problem.

What are the advantages of using flow harts?


Flowchart illustrates the sequence of operations to be performed to solve a
problem.
Programmers draw flowcharts bef re writing computer programs.
Flowchart provides an easy way to analyze and find solutions of problems.
Once, the flowchart is draw , it becomes very easy to write the program in any
high level language.
Flowchart is very helpful in communicating the problem solving method to other
people.
It also helps in finding and removing errors in computer programs.

Draw any four graphical symbols used in flowchart and explain them.
Flo chart symbols have specific meaning and are connected by arrows indicating the
flow from one step to another.
Flow line:
It is a line with arrow head. It is used to connect various flowchart symbols. It
indicates the flow of control.
Start/Stop Symbol:
It is a rounded rectangular shaped. It is used to indicate the start or end of a
flowchart. We can only write the words START or STOP inside this symbol. A flowchart
can only have one start but it may have many ends.
Input/Output Symbol:

It is represented by parallelogram. It indicate input or output operations. It contains
the word READ or INPUT along with the variables for input operation or PRINT for
OUTPUT along with the output data for output operation.
Processing Symbol:
It is represented by a rectangular block. It is used for data processing operation. All
the calculations appear inside the processing symbol, such as “SUM=A+B”. Variables
are also initialized inside the process symbol such as “K=1”.
Decision Symbol:
A decision or branching point. Lines representing different decisions emerge from
different points of the diamond.

What is defining the problem?


Defining the problem is first stage of problem solving. It’s very important to
understand the problem before the programmer starts working on its solution. The
following are the steps to properly efine and understand the problem.
Carefully read the problem to underst nd what it tells.
Find out what the prob em asks to do.
What information can be btained from the problem?
What is required to be calculated as the solution of the problem?

LONG QUESTIONS

Describe the steps involved in problem solving?


The follo ing five steps are involved in problem solving on computer.

1) Defining the Problem:

============================================================
2) Analyzing the Problem:
The programmer investigates the problem and gathers as much information as
possible to find a solution. The following questions can be asked to analyze the
problem.
Is it possible to solve the problem on a computer?
What is to be done to find the solution of the problem?
What is the proper and what output is required?
How many solutions are possible?
Which solution is the best and why?
How solution will be implemented?

3) Planning The Solution Of The Problem:


It refers to dividing the solution of any problem into steps and arranging them into
proper order.
How to Discuss a Problem:
Talk to the right person.
Focus on talking about the problem
only. Stay calm and reasonable.
Explain the problem in detail and provide ny evidence you may have.
Tell them what outcome you want.
Listen to their response.
Does his/her response resolve your issue?

4) Candid Solutions of a Problem:


All the possible solutions f a pr blem that produce correct result are known as candid
solutions. To find candid s lutions of a problem, programmer has to look for different
methods to solve the problem and come up with several solutions.

5) Select The Best Solution:


After finding the candid solutions, only one solution can be selected. The selection of
final solution of a pr blem should be based on the followings:
Speed: It means when the solution is implemented in a programming language,
the program should run fast.
Cost: The selected solution should be cost-effective.
Complexity: The selected solution of the problem should not be complicated.

Step 2 Calculate the area (A) by multiplying L with W
Step 3 Print A
