A problem can be defined as a gap between the actual and desired conditions
Methodology of Problem Solving
• Algorithms is a set of instructions used for solving a
problem in a step-by-step manner.
• A pseudo code is used to state an algorithm in an
English-like syntax
• A flow chart is a simple diagram that illustrates a
sequence of operations to be performed for obtaining
solution to a problem
Background on Python
⚫ Python was developed by Guido van Rossum in
the late eighties and early nineties at the National
Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer
Science in the Netherlands.
⚫ Python is derived from many other languages,
including ABC, Modula-3, C, C++, Algol-68,
SmallTalk, and Unix shell and other scripting
languages.
⚫ Python is copyrighted. Like Perl, Python source
code is now available under the GNU General

⚫ Script mode
− Save code/instructions in a file with extension .py (e.g. p1.py)
⚫ First way : Change to directory where python file is stored
