UNIT 1: FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE MODULE 2: PROBLEM-SOLVING WITH COMPUTERS OBJ.1: TOPIC: THE CONCEPT OF PROBLEM SOLVING SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Explain concepts related to problem-solving Explanation of problem-solving, problem, solution, algorithm, (algorithm as a problem solving strategy; its role and importance in the problem-solving process), and program. THE CONCEPT OF PROBLEM SOLVING Problem-solving: This refers to the process of identifying, analyzing, and resolving problems. It's the act of finding a solution to a challenge or impediment. THE CONCEPT OF PROBLEM SOLVING Problem: In the context of computer science and programming, a problem is a specific challenge or question that needs addressing. It could range from simple tasks, like finding the largest number in a list, to complex challenges, like predicting stock market trends. THE CONCEPT OF PROBLEM SOLVING Solution: A solution is the answer or resolution to a problem. It can be an idea, strategy, method, or model that addresses the given problem effectively. THE CONCEPT OF PROBLEM SOLVING Algorithm: An algorithm is a set of step-by-step procedures or a formula for solving a problem. It can be thought of as a recipe: given some inputs, if you follow the steps of an algorithm, you'll produce the desired output or solution. An algorithm doesn’t have to be related to computer science; a recipe for baking a cake is also an algorithm.
