Q: What is Problem Solving?

A: To solve a problem using suitable software is called Problem Solving.

Q: What is meant by defining the Problem?
A: It means knowing the objective of the Problem. It should include identification of the
input and the desired output of the program.
Q: What is Program?
A: Program is a set of instructions according to the syntax (rules) of a Programming
language.
Q: What is Programming language?
A: It is a set of letters, symbols, & numbers arranged according to the syntax of a
language used to write program.
Q: What is Pseudo-Code?
A: It is a tool for writing a program or solution of a problem in narrative form using
natural human language. Pseudo-Code can not be compiled nor executed. Also it
Has no any syntax like algorithm.
Q: What is meant by analyzing the problem?
A: It is the process of understanding the problem by asking series of Questions.
Example:
1. How to solve problem?
2. Can it be solved on computer?
3. What are input and output?
4. How many solutions are possible?
etc
Q: What is Problem identification Stage?
A: It is 1st stage of program development. In which we define and analyze the problem to
understand it properly because only then we can write a proper program.
Q: Define Algorithm?
A: It is a step by step procedure developed to solve a problem before writing an actual
program. It is a complete procedure or plan that describes the logic of program.
Q: What is Flowchart?
A: Flowchart is defined as, “The pictorial representation of the algorithm.”
Or
“The graphical form of the detailed steps (algorithm) to solve a problem.”
Note:
Learn all symbols of flowchart and their functions from page 5(gaba book).
Q: What is Coding?
A: The process of converting the algorithm into a computer program using computer
language.
Q: Name the types of Computer’s instruction used in a Program?
A: 1. Input/Output instructions.
2. Control instructions.
3. Arithmetic instructions.
4. Logical instructions.
5. Specification instructions.
Q: What is purpose of Input/Output instructions?
A: Theses instructions direct the computer to move information to and from the
