What is the difference between heuristic and algorithmic solutions?
What is the difference between heuristic and algorithmic solutions?
- Heuristic solutions are only used in computer programming, while algorithmic solutions are used in everyday life
- Heuristic solutions are always faster than algorithmic solutions
- Heuristic solutions are more accurate than algorithmic solutions
- Heuristic solutions involve trial and error, while algorithmic solutions follow a specific set of instructions (correct)
What are the steps for algorithmic problem-solving?
What are the steps for algorithmic problem-solving?
- Identify the problem, understand the problem, identify alternative ways to solve the problem, select the best alternative, list solution steps for the alternative chosen, evaluate the solution (correct)
- Guess the solution, try the solution, evaluate the outcome, refine the solution
- Ask for help, brainstorm ideas, select the easiest solution, implement the solution, evaluate the outcome
- Ignore the problem, wait for it to resolve itself, seek assistance from others, blame external factors, accept the consequences
What does a 'program' refer to in the context of problem-solving with computers?
What does a 'program' refer to in the context of problem-solving with computers?
- A set of alternative solutions to a problem
- The final outcome of the problem-solving process
- Instructions for solution using computer language (correct)
- The process of identifying the problem
