Fundamentals of Problem Solving: Problem Analysis Chart (PAC)
In Simple way……………!!

1.The given data (input)


2.The required results (output)
3.The processing of problem (computing)
4.The maximum possible solution (alternatives)
Example - 1
Calculate the gross pay of an employee with help of hours and payrate.
Gross Pay = Hours x Pay Rate
Example - 2
Convert the distance in km to miles 1 mile = 1.609 km
Robust and Boundary Test Cases

Example
Term It is…! Goal
Problem
Entering a letter
Robust A strong Don't crash on
instead of a
Program program bad input
number
First/last
Boundary Testing limits Work properly at
element of a list
Case of input start/end/edges
or empty list
Algorithm - Flowchart - Pseudocode
Flowchart
It is a picture of the separate steps of a process in sequential order.
Example - 1
Example - 2
Find the Bigger
Number among Two
given Numbers (A and
B)
Pseudocode

• It is an informal language that helps programmers


develop algorithms.
• Its a structured English for describing algorithm.
• One of the popular representation of algorithm.
• Each instruction is written on a separate line.
Example - 1
Calculate the gross pay of an
employee.
The formula to be used:
Gross Pay = Hours x Pay Rate
Example - 2
Write a pseudocode to find the sum of two numbers
Example - 3
Write a pseudocode to find the area of circle.
Data Types: Numeric, Boolean and Strings
Regular Expression
Operators
Expressions
✓ A combination of operands and operators is called an Expression.
✓ The expression in Python produces some value or result after being
interpreted by the Python interpreter.
✓ An example of expression can be :

In this expression, the first 10 is added to the variable x. After the addition
is performed, the result is assigned to the variable x.
