PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGIES

• • Definition of problem-solving strategies:


structured methods to address and resolve
challenges.
• • Understanding multiple strategies allows
selection of the most suitable approach for
different problems.
• • Trial and Error: Attempting multiple
solutions and learning from failed attempts.
• • Heuristics: Rule-of-thumb techniques based
on experience and intuition.
THE PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS
• • Computer as a model of computation: Uses
input-process-output structure.
• • Understanding the problem: Identify the
inputs, outputs, and constraints.
• • Formulating a model: Translate the real-
world problem into logical/mathematical
representation.
• • Developing an algorithm: Create a step-by-
step method to solve the problem.
• • Writing the program: Translate the algorithm
ESSENTIALS OF PYTHON
PROGRAMMING
• • Creating and using variables: Assign and
manipulate data using identifiers.
• • Numeric data types: int, float, complex for
mathematical operations.
• • String data types: Used for text processing
and manipulation.
• • Using the math module: Provides
mathematical functions like sqrt, pow, sin, etc.
• • Basic I/O: 'print()' for displaying output and
'input()' for reading user input.
