What this unit covers

• Algorithm design and problem-solving: Comprehend the stages of the program development life cycle, which includes analysis, design, coding, and testing. This involves recognizing each stage and executing tasks such as: - analysis: abstraction, problem decomposition, and identifying requirements - design: creating structure diagrams, flowcharts, and pseudocode - coding: writing code and conducting iterative tests - testing: using test data to evaluate the program code
• Algorithm design and problem-solving: Recognize that every computer system consists of sub-systems, which can be further divided into smaller sub-systems. Understand how to break down a problem into its parts and utilize various methods to design and create a solution. This includes considering inputs, processes, outputs, and storage, as well as using structure diagrams, flowcharts, and pseudocode.
