PROBLEM SOLVING METHODS
1.Pseudocode
2.Flowchart
3.Trace table

1.Pseudocode - is a sequence of instructions to solve a problem,


written in human language, and it can solve any problems when it is
used with the correct procedure.
Example:-
START
INPUT quiz1, quiz2, quiz3
TotalMark quiz1+quiz2+quiz3
PRINT TotalMark
END
(Note:- ‘ ’ refers to assignment operator. The sum of the values of
quiz1, quiz2 and quiz3 are assigned to TotalMark)

Variables – are named memory location. The value varies during the
execution of the program. example: - quiz1/quiz2/quiz3
Variable naming conventions.
1) Always give meaningful variable name.
2) Never start with a number or symbol.
3) Only symbol used is underscore.
4) Keywords cannot be used as variable names.

Constant – The values will not change during the execution of the
program. example: - PI(3.14).

Keywords – are reserved words and always written in Upper case.


Example: - INPUT, PRINT, IF, ELSE etc.

4
2.Flowchart - A graphical representation of data, information and
workflow using certain symbols that are connected to flow lines to
describe the instructions done in problem solving.

5
Example: -
START

INPUT
quiz1,quiz2,quiz3

←
TotalMark ←quiz1+quiz2+quiz3

PRINT TotalMark

STOP

3.Trace table - A trace table is a technique used to test algorithms


or computer programs for logic errors.
Example: -
Quiz1 Quiz 2 Quiz3 Total
3 6 7 16
2.4 6.8 5.5 14.7
