Program Plan Intro

a.

Problem-solving strategy:

  • It is an idea for solving a problem.
  • Different type of strategies is used to solve the different type of problems.
  • User can use a one or more strategy to solve a single problem.
  • The problem can be solved by many ways but the user should have to find which way provides better solution with proper steps.

Types of strategies in problem-solving:

There are three strategies are present in the problem solving:

  • Ask questions:
    • This strategy usually asks questions about the problem or task, and identifies the clear information and facts about the problem.
    • This strategy asks the questions such as “when”, “why”, and “where” until the problem or task is clearly and entirely understood.
  • Looks for familiar things:
    • Some problems have repeatedly happened in computing so it is useful for user identifying the familiar steps that will useful to solve the problem.
    • If the solutions already exist for the given or same problem, then just repeat the given steps to solve the problem.
      • User need not to determine the new steps to solve the given problem.
  • Divide and conquer:
    • User can easily handle the problem by dividing the larger problems into smaller ones.
      • It means tasks are split into subtasks. Each subtask is split into sub-subtask if needed.
      • This strategy can be applied repeatedly until each subtask is determined.
        • Example for this strategy is quick sort and binary search algorithm.

Problem-solving strategy for organizing an awards banquet for the soccer team:

  • Ask questions:
    • Where will the event be set?
    • When will the event be set?
    • How many participants will be there in the event?
    • How many prizes will be awarded in the event?

Need this expression solved for mu. This can be done using a symbolic toolbox, however it needs to end up being mu = function (theta, m, L, g). If using MATLAB or something similar, run the code to make sure it works.
