L7 Algorithm design and problem


solving
7.1The Program Development life cycle.
The program development life cycle is divided into five stages:
analysis, design, coding, testing and maintenance.
• Analysis
• Design
• Coding
• Testing
Analysis:-Before any problem can be solved ,it needs to be
clearly defined and set out so anybody working on the solution
understands what is needed.This is called the requirement
specification
Design
Coding
 Analyis:-a detailed examination of anything complex in order to
understand its nature or to determine its essential features.
 Abstraction :-keeps the key elements required for the solution to the
problem and discards any unnecessary details and information that is
not required.
 Decomposition:- breaks down a complex problem into smaller parts,
which can then be subdivided into even smaller parts, that can be
solved easily
 How a problem can be decompose into sub problems
 inputs – the data used by the system that needs to be entered while the
system is active »
 processes – the tasks that need to be performed using the input data
and any other previously stored data »
 outputs – information that needs to be displayed or printed for the
users of the system »
 storage – data that needs to be stored in files on an appropriate
medium for use in the future
 Examples of Alarm app
 Design:-The use of formal methods enables the process to be clearly shown
for others to understand
 What are the methods for designing
 Structure diagrams:-are hierarchical, showing how a computer system
solution can be divided into sub-systems with each level giving a more
detailed breakdown

Flow chart:-A flowchart shows diagrammatically the steps required to complete


a task and the order that they are to be performed.
Algorithm:-A step by step process to solve any problem
 Step1:-start.
 Step2:-initialize two variables a,b as int.
 Step3:input a,b, value from the user.
 Step4: start if a is equal to b the initialize sum as int.
 Step5: add a and b,store the value in sum variable.
 Step6:print sum.
 multiply a with b and store the result in product variable.
 Pseudocode:- Pseudocode is a simple method of showing an algorithm.
It describes what the algorithm does by using English key words that are
very similar to those used in a high-level programming language
 Coding:- Each module of the program is written using a suitable
programming language and then tested to see if it works.
 Testing:-The completed program or set of programs is run many times
with different sets of test data. This ensures that all the tasks completed
work together as specified in the program design
