Study Notes

Problem Solving

Problem solving is a process that involves identifying, analyzing, and resolving problems.
You can think of problem solving as finding a solution to any challenge or impediment.

Problem

A problem is a specific challenge or question that needs addressing.
Problems can vary in complexity: from simple tasks like finding the largest number in a list to complex challenges like predicting stock market trends.

Solution

A solution is the answer or resolution to a problem.
A solution can be an idea, a strategy, a method, or a model, that addresses the problem effectively.

Algorithm

An algorithm is a collection of step-by-step procedures or a formula for solving a problem.
A recipe is a good example of an algorithm. Given certain inputs, if you follow the steps you will produce the output or solution.
Algorithms are not restricted to computer science; a recipe for baking a cake is also an algorithm.
