PROBLEM SOLVING
Learning Objectives
In this chapter, you will learn about:
(a) What problem solving is, and
(b) Five (5) steps in the software development method:
(i) Problem Analysis
(ii) Design a Solution
(iii) Implementation
(iv) Testing
(v) Documentation

1.1 Introduction
Problem solving is the process of transforming the description of a problem into a solution by
using our knowledge of the problem domain and by relying on our ability to select and use
appropriate problem-solving strategies, techniques and tools (Yuksel Uckan, 1995).

1.2 Steps in Problem Solving

Five (5) steps in problem solving:
• Step 1: Problem Analysis
• Step 2: Design a Solution
• Step 3: Implementation
• Step 4: Testing
• Step 5: Documentation

Page 1
1.2.1 Step 1: Problem Analysis
In problem analysis step, we should identify the following:
• Input
• Process
• Output

This problem analysis can be represented by the Input-Process-Output (IPO) chart as

follows:
required data to the problem
Input :
– usually entered by user using keyboard
relevant action(verb) / condition (if any) involved to produce output
Process : from input
– involve calculation/selection/repetition
expected result after processed
Output :
– to be displayed on the monitor

Example of Problem Analysis

Problem Statement:
Calculate the sum of any two numbers.
Input : num1, num2

Process : Calculate sum for num1, num2

Output : Sum

Here, num1, num2 are input, data required for the problem to be solved. Usually the value
for input (num1, num2) are entered by user through keyboard.

The verb Calculate is used to represent the process. The process reflects to the problem
statement or question.

The sum is the output, i.e expected result after process. The value for output (sum) will be
printed/displayed on the computer monitor.
*(This step will be discussed in detail in Chapter 2 Control Structures.)

Page 2
1.2.2 Step 2: Design a Solution
• Design a solution involves creating an algorithm.
• An algorithm is a sequence of well-defined steps to solve a problem.
• We specify a plan that will solve the problem and elaborate the plan into step by step
solution (algorithm).
• Algorithm can be represented using pseudocodes or flowcharts.

*(This step will be discussed in detail in subtopic 1.3 Algorithms)

1.2.3 Step 3: Implementation

• Implementation is the process of implementing an algorithm by writing a computer
program such as Scratch program.

1.2.4 Step 4: Testing and Verification

• After a program is compiled, we must run the program and verify it with different
inputs.
• In this phase, your main objective is to convince that the program will do what it is
expected to do. In other words, you will want to verify that your program is correct.
• Program verification is the process of ensuring that a program meets user-requirement
(i.e. test/verify it with different inputs).
• One of the techniques used for program verification is program testing. Program testing
is the process of executing a program to demonstrate its correctness (i.e. run the
program).

1.2.5 Step 5: Documentation

• Documentation contains description of the program that helps other programmers in
editing or maintaining the program later.
• Can be done in 2 ways:
o Writing comments between your lines of codes
o Creating a separate text file to explain the program

Page 3
1.3 Algorithms
The second (2nd) step 2 in solving a problem is design a solution. Design a solution involves
creating an algorithm. In order to instruct a computer correctly, the user must have clear
understanding of the problem to be solved. Apart from this he should be able to develop an
algorithm, in the form of series of sequential steps, to solve it. Once the problem is well-
defined and a method of solving it is developed, then instructing the computer to solve the
problem becomes relatively easier task.

Thus, before attempt to write a computer program to solve a given problem, it is necessary to
formulate or define the problem in a precise manner using algorithm.
An algorithm is a well-defined procedure that allows a computer to solve a problem. It
shows step-by-step instruction that will transform the input into the output. The algorithm
will be created based on the problem analysis prepared earlier.

There are two (2) techniques to represent algorithm:

• Pseudocode
• Flowchart

Page 4
1.3.1 Pseudocodes
A pseudocode is a semiformal, English-like language with a limited vocabulary that can be
used to design and describe algorithms.

The main purpose of a pseudocode is to define the procedural logic of an algorithm in a simple,
easy-to-understand for its readers, who may not be proficient in computer programming
language.

In writing a pseudocode, one should start by doing problem analysis for the problemstatement
(i.e: identify input, process, and output).

Problem Analysis Pseudocode Format

Begin
Input : data Input / Read / Get data
Process : action Formula
Output : result Output/Print/Display result
End

Here, the Pseudocode Format will take all the information from the Problem Analysis into
it’s format respectively.
In pseudocode, the Input will be represented by the keyword Input itself, or can be
represented using the keyword Read or Get.
For Process, it will converted into its respective formula.
For Output, it will be represented by the keyword Output itself, or can be represented using
the keyword Print or Display.

In short, we can conclude that:

Input = Read = Get data
Process → Formula
Output = Print = Display result

*In this book, this keyword (input/output) will be used alternately.

Example Pseudocode 1: A Pseudocode that Calculate the Sum of any Two
Numbers

Problem Analysis Pseudocode Format

Begin
Input : num1, num2
Read num1, num2
Process : Calculate sum based on
sum = num1 + num2
num1, num2
Print sum
Output : sum
End

Here, in the Problem Analysis, the process part will be formulated into it’s respective
equation. For example,

Process : Calculate sum sum = num1 + num2

Example Pseudocode 2: A Pseudocode that Calculate the Sum and Average of any
Three Numbers

Begin
Input : num1, num2, num3
Read num1, num2, num3sum
Calculate sum and

Process : average based on num1,
average = sum / 3
num2, num3
Print sum, average
Output : sum, average
End

1.3.2 Flowcharts
A flowchart is a graphical representation that are connected by arrows to represent algorithm.

It is easy to understand type and flow of instruction in graphical representation.

Graphic Symbols Name Meaning

It is recommended to draw a flowchart after you created a pseudocode. This because once the
pseudocode is complete, then give its appropriate shape connected by arrows, it will become
a flowchart.

SEQUENCE CONTROL STRUCTURES
Learning Objectives
In this chapter, you will learn about:
a) Sequence control structure and its’ respective purposes, and
b) Applying sequence control structures in computational problem solving.

2.1 Introduction
In 1966, two researchers, Bohm and Jacopini, demonstrated that any algorithm can be
described using only three control structures:

• sequence,
• selection, and
• repetition.

Therefore, a pseudocode must have constructs that correspond to these control structures in
its vocabulary.

A control structure is a block of programming that analyses variables and chooses a direction
in which to go based on given parameters. It shows the logical order of program instructions.

Therefore, there are three (3) types of programming language control structures:

• Sequence Control Structures

• Selection Control Structures
• Repetition Control Structures

Page 12
The sequence control structure is a series of actions that are sequentially executed in the
order they are written in an algorithm. All actions will be executed sequentially. Actions can
be input, process, or output.

 Problem Statement 1.1:
Print "Hello, world!".

Problem Analysis
Input : No input
Process : No process
Output : "Hello, world!"

Here, in this problem statement, it does not have any data (input) to be manipulated
(process) to produce the output. It only requires output statement to print the
message "Hello, world!".

Algorithm (Pseudocode)
Begin
Print "Hello, world!"
End
In pseudocode, Output in problem analysis is represented by the keyword Output
itself, or can be represented by the keyword Print or Display.

Algorithm (Flowchart)

Begin

Print "Hello, world!"

End

In flowchart, Begin (or Start) and End is placed into a terminal shape. The
keyword
Output/Print/Display is placed in a parallelogram shape.

REPETITION CONTROL STRUCTURES
COUNTER-CONTROLLED
Learning Objectives
In this chapter, you will learn about:
a) Counter-controlled repetition control structure and its’ respective purposes, and
b) Applying counter-controlled repetition control structures in computational problem
solving.

6.1 Introduction
Counter-controlled repetition is used when we know the number of iterations we have to
perform i.e. we know how many times we need to execute a loop.
Counter-controlled repetition involves three (3) basic processes:
• Initialization (Set the initial value of the loop control variable).
• Evaluation (Test the loop control variable to determine whether the loop should
continue or stop).
• Updating (Increment/decrement the value of the loop control variable).

*The loop control variable is the variable that control the number of times the loop is
executed.

REPETITION CONTROL STRUCTURES
SENTINEL-CONTROLLED
Learning Objectives
In this chapter, you will learn about:
a) Sentinel-controlled repetition control structure and its’ respective purposes, and
b) Applying sentinel-controlled repetition control structures in computational problem
solving.

7.1 Introduction
Sentinel-controlled is used when you are not sure about the iterations but you know what the
condition is and then you can loop that block until the condition is false.

In sentinel-controlled repetition the number of loop is NOT known before the loop begins
executing. The loop will stop when a sentinel value is reached. Sentinel value is a special value
such as 0, -1, 999, ‘Y’, ‘N’, true, false to indicate the end of data entry.
