Unit 3 Algorithmic Thinking and Problem Solving

Q1. Why do we need to understand the problem area?


A: Understanding and identifying the problem area gives us a chance to solve the problem in better and
clearway. It help in the development of a quick and better solution.

Q2. How to identify the problem?


 Identify the root cause of the problem by collecting information.
 Identify the problem such as through brainstorming, discussions etc.
 After identification of a problem, the problem is stated in a clear and precise way called as
problem statement.
Q3. If the problem identified is too big to be fixed all at once, what mechanism could help you to
better solve the problem?

A: In this situation, dividing the problem into small and manageable components could be useful trick
not only to better understand the problem but also to provide a better solution.

Q4. Can we have more than one decision symbol in the flow charts?

A: Yes we can have more than one decision symbols in flowcharts wherever multiple decisions are
required.

Q5. Differentiate between an algorithm and flowchart?

Algorithm Flowchart
An algorithm is a sequence of steps to solve a particular A Flowchart is a graphic/diagrammatic representation
problem in a precise and of an algorithm
systematic way.
For example: finding the sum of two numbers All actions that were needed step by step to solve a
etc. problem are drawn in the flowchart

Q6: Write down algorithm for adding two numbers.

A: Step 1: Start

Step 2: Declare variables numl, num2 and sum

Step 3: Input values for numl and num2

Step 4: Add numl and num2 and store the result in the variable sum.

Step 5: Output the sum

Step 6: Stop.
