Problem solving: act of finding a solution to a perplexing distressing, vexing, or unsettled question. How do you solve problems: understand the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan, look back. The divide and conquer approach can be applied over and over again until each subtask is manageable. Algorithms: a set of unambiguous instructions for solving a problem or sub problem in a finite amount of time using a finite amount of data. Abstract step: an algorithmic step containing unspecified details. Concrete step: an algorithm step in which all details are specified. Two methodologies used to develop computer solutions to a problem: top down design focuses on the tasks to done (ex.
