MODULE 1 PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGIES, THEIR DEFINITION CHARACTERISTICS
HOW TO APPLY THEM (TRIAL AND ERROR,
ALGORITHMIC, HEURISTICS, MEANS-ENDS ANALYSIS, AND BACKTRACKING)
THE PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS
(UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM, FORMULATING
A MODEL, DEVELOPING AN ALGORITHM, WRITING THE PROGRAM, TESTING THE PROGRAM, ANDEVALUATINGTHE SOLUTION)
LEARN THE ABOVE SIX STEPS, THEIR
DEFINITION AND HOW TO APPLY THEM TO A PROBLEM (PRACTICE PROBLEMS) MODULE 2 ALGORITHM, FLOWCHART AND PSEUDOCODE (PRACTICE AS MUCH PROBLEMS AS POSSIBLE) MODULE 3 FUNDAMENTAL CONSTRUCTS OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING (SELECTION, ITERATION, SEQUENCE DATA TYPES), LEARN BY PRACTICING EXAMPLE PYTHON PROGRAMS.
RECURSION (PRACTICE RECURSIVE FUNCTION
PROGRAMS)
RECURSION (PRACTICE RECURSIDECOMPOSITION
AND MODULARISATIONVE FUNCTION PROGRAMS) MODULE 4 COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES TO PROBLEM SOLVING, THEIR DEFINITION AND CHARACTERISTICS (BRUTE-FORCE APPROACH, DIVIDE-AND-CONQUER APPROACH, DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING APPROACH, GREEDY ALGORITHM APPROACH, RANDOMIZED APPROACH)
