ALGORITHM DESIGN AND PROBLEM SOLVING
7.1 ALGORITHM DESIGN AND PROBLEM SOLVING
SECTION OBJECTIVES
7.1 Understand the program development life cycle, limited to: analysis, design, coding and testing
7.2 (a) Understand that every computer system is made up of sub-systems, which are made up of further sub-systems
(b) Understand how a problem can be decomposed into its component parts
(c) Use different methods to design and construct a solution to a problem
7.3 Explain the purpose of a given algorithm
7.4 Understand standard methods of solution
7.5 (a) Understand the need for validation checks to be made on input data and the different types of validation check
(b) Understand the need for verification checks to be made on input data and the different types of verification check
7.6 Suggest and apply suitable test data
7.7 Complete a trace table to document a dry-run of an algorithm
7.8 Identify errors in given algorithms and suggest ways of correcting these errors
7.9 Write and amend algorithms for given problems or scenarios, using: pseudocode, program code and flowcharts
