Overview

Problem solving in computer science begins with identifying the problem clearly, designing a precise algorithm, representing it using flowchart or pseudocode, testing it, and then converting it into source code. A computer does not solve problems by itself; correct step-by-step instructions are need

Key Concepts

Problem solving is the process

Problem solving is the process of identifying a problem, developing an algorithm for it, and then implementing the algorithm to develop a computer pro

An algorithm is a set
