2. What is problem?
The problem is defined as the objective or the specific output that we
want to attain; through a sequence of steps and activities and, specific
input.

5. Strategies
Ask questions!
What do I know about the problem?
What is the information that I have to process in order the
find the solution?
What does the solution look like?
What sort of special cases exist?
How will I recognize that I have found
the solution?

Example: knapsack problem
Which boxes should be chosen to maximize the amount
of money while still keeping the overall weight under or
equal to 15 kg?
A multiple constrained problem could consider both the
weight and volume of the boxes.
(Solution:
if any number of each box is available,
then three yellow boxes and three grey boxes;
if only the shown boxes are available,
then all but not the green box.)
9. Can I skip
the step?
According to Sprankle and
Hubbard (2012), if the six step
not completed well, the result
may be less than desired

10. Example: Problems…
Baking a cake according to certain specifications, input available are the
ingredients (such as eggs, flour, milk …etc.), then followed by activities or
procedures that should be done sequentially, taking into consideration
that any mistake happens by doing any procedure before the other,
results in an unsuitable and undesirablecake.

17. Problem Solving with Computer
Two methodologies used to develop computer
solutions to a problem
– Top-down design focuses on the tasks to be done
– Object-oriented design focuses on the data involved in the
solution
17
18. Top-Down Design
Top-Down Design
Problem-solving technique in which the problem is dividedinto
Subproblems; the process is applied to eachsubproblem.
Modules
Self-contained collection of steps, that solve a problem orsubproblem.
Abstract Step
An algorithmic step containing unspecifieddetails.
Concrete Step
An algorithm step in which all details are specified
18
19. Top-Down Design
It is essentially the breaking down of a system to gain insight into the
sub-systems that make it up.
In a top-down approach an overview of the system is formulated,
specifying but not detailing any first-level subsystems.
19
breaking a problem into subproblems.
Choice of suitable data structure
Construction of loops
Establishing initial condition for loops
Finding iterative construct
Termination of loops
22. Problem Solving Strategies
22
Solving problems is the core of computer science and Solving the right problem is the
most important part of problem solving.
Main Problem Solving Steps:
• Understand the Problem.
• Design a Solution/Formulate an algorithm to solve your problem.
• Implement your Solution/Write the code to solve your problem.
• Check your Solution.
23. Problem Solving Strategies
23
• Problem Solving is the process of transforming the problem description into the solution
of that problem by using knowledge of problem domain and by selecting appropriate
problem solving strategies, techniques and tools.
• SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (SDLC)
• SDLC is a systems approach to problem-solving and is made up of several phases,
each comprised of multiple steps.
• It helps to transform the idea of a project into a functional and completely
operational structure.
• It is a set of steps used to create software applications.
25. Program Design Tools
25
• Program Design tools are the tools used to develop a program.
• During designing a program, different tools are required to solve
several problems.
• Frequently used tools are:
Algorithms
Flowcharts
Pseudo-codes
26. Program Design Tools
26
Algorithm
• Giving the computer the information and process it needs to solve the problem.
• An algorithm is a sequence of instructions or step by step instruction to find the
solution of a problem.
• A finite set of instructions to perform particular task.
• The set of rules that define how a particular problem can be solved in a finite
number of steps
• It consists of
• Simple statements
• Assignment statement/ input-output
• Control flow statements
• If else/loops
27. Algorithm
26
• Simple statements
• Assignment statement(variable= expression ) or input-output statement
• Eg:
• x=1.
• Input value of x.
28. Algorithm
26
• Control flow statements
• If else
• If (condition) then statement
• If (condition) then statement1 else statement 2
• Loops
• for i=1 to n step 1
{ print i
}
• Repeat until statements
• repeat
Statement 1
Statement 2
.
.
Statement n
until(condition)
• Break statement.
29. Algorithm
27
Characteristics of a good algorithm −
• Has a set of inputs
• Steps are uniquely defined
• Has finite number of steps
• Produces desired output
30. Algorithm

Example 1: Algorithm for adding the two numbers
Step 1: Start the program
Step 2: Input number x,y / Read x, y
Step 3: Perform addition of both numbers & store result in variable Z.
Step 4: Print Z
Step 5: Stop the program
31. Algorithm
29
Example 2: Algorithm to find largest of two numbers
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Read a, b . /* a, b two numbers */
Step 3: If a>b then /*Checking */
Display “a is the largest number”.
Otherwise
Display “b is the largest number”.
Step 4: Stop
32. Algorithm
30
Example 3: Algorithm for Sum of n natural numbers
Step 1. Read/Input the value of n.
Step 2. i = 1 , SUM = 0
Step 3. if ( i > n ) go to 7
Step 4. Set SUM = SUM + i
Step 5. Set i = i + 1
Step 6. go to Step 3
Step 7. Display the value of SUM
Step 8. Stop
34. Algorithm
30
Example 4: Write an Algorithm to find whether number is even or odd.
Step 1. Input the number n.
Step 2: If n%2==0 then
Print “n is the Even number”.
Otherwise
Print “n is the Odd number”.
Step 4: Stop
35. Flowcharts
31
• A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm.
• Program flowchart describes the sequence of operations and decisions for a
particular program.
• A flowchart that gives information about a system is called System flowchart.
• Program flowchart describes the sequence of operations and decisions for a
particular program.
• It is a program planning tool for organizing a sequence of steps necessary to solve a
problem, which is shown in terms of symbols.
• Flowchart uses symbols that have geometrical shapes to indicate the different
operation.
41. Pseudo-codes
37
• Pseudocode is a compact and informal high-level description of a program.
• Before we write a real program, we write a program that looks like a code on the
basis of algorithm and flowchart.
• The instruction of pseudo code is written by using English phrase and mathematical
expression.
• It has no hard or fast rules for writing instruction but the instruction is closer to high-
level language instructions.
• Some Keywords should be used in Pseudocode.
• Therefore, the pseudo code designers should have basic knowledge about high-level
language before writing it.
42. Pseudo-codes
38
Pseudocode to Add Two Numbers
BEGIN
NUMBER s1, s2, sum
OUTPUT("Input number1:")
INPUT s1
OUTPUT("Input number2:")
INPUT s2
sum=s1+s2
OUTPUT sum
END
43. Pseudo-codes
39
Pseudocode to find Maximum of 2 numbers
BEGIN
READ n1,n2
IF n1>n2
WRITE "n1 is Maximum"
ELSE
WRITE "n2 is Maximum"
ENDIF
END
44. Pseudo-codes
40
1. Pseudocode to Print Numbers from 1 to n
BEGIN
NUMBER counter,n
INPUT n
FOR counter = 1 TO n STEP 1 DO
OUTPUT counter
ENDFOR
END 2. Pseudocode to Calculate the Sum and
Average of n Number
BEGIN
NUMBER counter,n,sum,avg
INPUT n
FOR counter = 1 TO n STEP 1 DO
sum=sum+counter
ENDFOR
avg=sum/n
OUTPUT "Sum of numbers :"+sum
OUTPUT "Average of numbers :"+avg
END
45. Implementation of algorithms
41
• Use of procedures to emphasize modularity
• Choice of variable names
• Documentation of programs
• Debugging programs
• Program testing
47. • code or source code: The sequence of instructions in a program.
• syntax: The set of legal structures and commands that can be used in a particular
programming language.
• output: The messages printed to the user by a program.
• console: The text box onto which output is printed.
– Some source code editors pop up the console as an external window, and
others contain their own console window.

• Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van
Rossum, and released in 1991.
• Python is an interpreted, high level and general-purpose programming
language.
• Python is multi-paradigm programming language ,which allows user to code
in several different programming styles.
• Python supports cross platform development and is available through open
source.
• The language places strong emphasis on code reliability and simplicity so
that the programmers can develop applications rapidly.
49
50. • Python is created by Guido Van Rossum in the 1980s.
• Rossum published the first version of Python code (0.9.0) in February 1991 at the CWI
(Centrum Wiskunde & Informatics) in the Netherlands.
• Python is derived from ABC programming language, which is a general-purpose
programming language .
• Rossum chose the name "Python", since he was a big fan of Monty Python's Flying
Circus.
• Python is now maintained by a core development team at the institute.

56. Python Code Execution
Python’s traditional runtime execution model: source code you type is
translated to byte code, which is then run by the Python Virtual
Machine. Your code is automatically compiled, but then it isinterpreted.
Source code extension is .py
Byte code extension is .pyc (compiled python code)
56
57. Your First Program
• You can write Python (.py) files in a text editor and then put those files into the
python interpreter to be executed.
• Thewaytorunapythonfileislikethisonthecommandline:
• C:UsersYourName>pythonhelloworld.py
• Where"helloworld.py"isthenameofyourpythonfile.
• Let'swriteourfirstPythonfile,calledhelloworld.py
• print("Hello,World!”) //contentsofhelloworld.py
• Saveyourfile.
• Openyourcommandline,navigatetothedirectorywhereyousavedyourfile,andrun:
• C:UsersYourName>pythonhelloworld.py
• Theoutputshouldread:
• Hello,World!
57
58. Your First Program
• To test a short amount of code in python sometimes it is quickest and easiest not
to write the code in a file.
• This is made possible because Python can be run as a command line itself.
• C:UsersYour Name>python
• From there you can write any python instruction
• C:UsersYour Name>python

60. Variables and identifiers
Variable
It is a named location used to store data in the memory.
It is a container that holds data that can be changed later in the
program.
Python Identifiers
An identifier is a name given to entities like class, functions,
variables, etc. It helps to differentiate one entity from another.
Rules for writing identifiers
1. Identifiers can be a combination of letters in lowercase (a to z) or
uppercase (A to Z) or digits (0 to 9) or an underscore.
2. An identifier cannot start with a digit.
3. Keywords cannot be used as identifiers.
4. We cannot use special symbols like !, @, #, $, % etc. in our identifier.
5. An identifier can be of any length. 60
61. Literal and constants
Literal is a raw data given in a variable or constant.
In Python, there are various types of literals they are as follows:
1. Numeric Literals
2. String literals
3. Boolean literals
4. Special literals (eg None)
Constants
A constant is a type of variable whose value cannot be changed.
It is a container that hold information which cannot be changed
later.
61
62. Data Types In Python
Datatype represents the type of data stored into a variable or memory.
Type of Data type :-
1.Built-in Data type
2.User Defined Data type
62
64. Data Types In Python
built-in simple types offered by Python are:
1. Numeric Type
2. String
3. Boolean
64
65. Data Types In Python
Numeric Type / Number
Following are the Numeric Data type:-
1.Integer
2.Float
3.Complex
65
66. Data Types In Python
Integers
Python interprets a sequence of decimal digits without any prefix to be a
decimal number.
The following strings can be prepended to an integer value to
indicate a base other than 10:
66
Prefix Interpretation Base
0b (zero + lowercase letter 'b')
0B (zero + uppercase letter 'B')
Binary 2
0o (zero + lowercase letter 'o')
0O (zero + uppercase letter 'O')
Octal 8
0x (zero + lowercase letter 'x')
0X (zero + uppercase letter 'X')
Hexadecimal 16
68. Example
We can use the type() function to know which class a variable or a value
belongs to
>>> a = 5
>>> print(type(a))
<class 'int’>
>>> a = 2.25
>>> print(type(a))
<class 'float’>
>>> a = 1+2j
>>> print(type(a))
<class 'complex'>
68
69. Data Types In Python
Floating-Point Numbers
69
• The float type in Python designates a floating-point number.
• Float can store fractional numbers values and they are specified
with a decimal point.
• They can be defined either in standard decimal notation, or
in exponential notation.
• Optionally, the character e or E followed by a positive or negative
integer may be appended to specify scientific notation.
71. Data Types In Python
Complex Numbers
71
• Complex numbers are specified as
• <real part> + <imaginary part> j
• >>> 2+3j
• (2+3j)
72. Data Types In Python
Strings
72
• Strings are sequences of character data.
• A string is a collection of one or more characters .
• String literals may be delimited using either single or double
quotes.
• All the characters between the opening delimiter and
matching closing delimiter are part of the string
• >>> print("I am a string.")
I am a string.
• >>> type("I am a string.")
<class 'str’>
• A string can also be empty.
73. Data Types In Python
Raw Strings
73
• A raw string literal is preceded by r or R, which specifies that
escape sequences in the associated string are not translated.
• The backslash character is left in the string.
• >>> print('C:Documentsnew')
C:Documents
ew
• >>> print(r'C:Documentsnew')
C:Documentsnew
74. Data Types In Python
Boolean
74
• Booleans represent one of two values: True or False.
• You can evaluate any expression in Python, and get one of two
answers, True or False.
• When you compare two values, the expression is evaluated
and Python returns the Boolean answer.
print(10 > 9) // True
print(10 == 9) // False
print(10 < 9) // False
75. Data Types In Python
Boolean Example
75
Print a message based on whether the condition is True or False:
a = 200
b = 100
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
else:
print("b is not greater than a")
76. Data Types In Python
Compound types
76
• Python also has several built-in compound types, which act as
containers for other types.
• Simple types such as int and str hold a single value while
Compound or collection types hold multiple values.
• These compound types are:
• List (Ordered collection) Eg: [1, 2, 3]
• Tuple (Immutable ordered collection) Eg: (1, 2, 3)
• Dict (Unordered (key,value) mapping) Eg: {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}
• Set (Unordered collection of unique values) Eg: {1, 2, 3}
77. Operators In Python
An operator is a symbol that performs an operation.
They are used to perform operations on variables and values.
In Python operators are categorized in the following groups:
1.Arithmetic Operators
2.Relational Operators / Comparison Operators
3.Logical Operators
4.Assignment Operators
5.Bitwise Operators
6.Membership Operators
7.Identity Operators
77
78. Arithmetic Operators In Python
78
• Arithmetic Operators are used to perform basic arithmetic operations like
addition, subtraction, division etc
79. Relational/ Comparison Operators In Python
79
• Relational operators are used to compare the value of operands (expressions) to
produce a logical value. A logical value is either True or False.
80. Logical Operators In Python
80
• Logical operators are used to connect more relational operations to form a
complex expression called logical expression.
• A value obtained by evaluating a logical expression is always logical, i.e. either
True or False.
81. Logical Operator and
81
True and Expression1 and Expression2 = Expression2
False and Expression1 and Expression2 = False
82. Logical Operator or
82
True or Expression1 or Expression2 = True
False or Expression1 or Expression2 = Expression1
84. Assignment and in-place Operators In python
84
Assignment operators are used to perform arithmetic operations while assigning a
value to a variable.
85. Bitwise Operators In Python
85
Bitwise operators are used to perform operations at binary digit level.
These operators are not commonly used and are used only in special applications
where optimized use of storage is required.
92. Membership Operators in Python
92
The membership operators are useful to test for membership in a
sequence such as string, lists, tuples and dictionaries.
There are two type of Membership operator:-
•in
•not in
93. Membership Operator in
93
This operators is used to find an element in the specified sequence.
It returns True if element is found in the specified sequence else it
returns False.
Examples:-
st1 = “Welcome to BVCOEL”
“to” in st1 True
st2 = “Welcome to BVCOEL”
“to” in st2 True
st3 = “Welcome to BVCOEL”
“pune” in st3 False
94. Membership Operator not in
94
This operators works in reverse manner for in operator.
It returns True if element is not found in the specified sequence and if element
is found, then it returns False.
Examples:-
st1 = “Welcome to BVCOEL”
“pune” not in st1 True
st2 = “Welcome to BVCOEL”
“to” not in st2 False
st3 = “Welcome top BVCOEL”
“to” not in st3 False
95. Identity Operators in Python
95
Identity operators are used to compare the objects, not if they are equal,
but if they are actually the same object, with the same memory location.
Operator Description Example
is Returns true if both variables
are the same object
x is y
is not Returns true if both variables
are not the same object
x is not y
96. Example of Identity Operators in Python
96
x = ["apple", "banana"]
y = ["apple", "banana"]
z = x
print(x is z)
# returns True because z is the same object as x
print(x is y)
# returns False because x is not the same object as y, even if they have
the same content
print(x == y)
# to demonstrate the difference between "is" and "==":
# this comparison returns True because x is equal to y
97. Input Operation in Python
97
Python provides numerous built-in functions that are readily available to us at the
Python prompt.
Some of the functions like input() and print() are widely used for standard input and
output operations respectively
To allow flexibility, we might want to take the input from the user.
input() function to take input into a program from console.
The syntax for input() is:
input([prompt])
where prompt is the string we wish to display on the screen.
It is optional.
98. Input Operation in Python
98
split()
• Using split() method, we can take multiple values in one line.
• Split method breaks the given input by the specified separator.
• If separator is not provided, then any white space is a separator.
# taking two inputs at a time
x, y = input("Enter a two value: ").split()
print("Number of boys: ", x)
print("Number of girls: ", y)
print()
#Output
Enter a two value: 12 34
Number of boys: 12
Number of girls: 34
99. Input Operation in Python
99
Example:
>>> num = input('Enter a number: ')
Enter a number: 10
>>> num '10‘
Here, we can see that the entered value 10 is a string, not a number.
To convert this into a number we can use int() or float() functions.
>>> int('10')
10
>>> float('10')
10.0
100. Comments in Python
100
A comment in Python starts with the hash character # , and extends to the end
of the physical line.
Because comments do not execute, when you run a program you will not see
any indication of the comment there.
Comments are in the source code for humans to read, not for computers to
execute.
Comments can be used to make the code more readable.
A comment can be written in three ways - entirely on its own line, next to a
statement of code, and as a multi-line comment block.
101. Comments in Python
101
Example
#This is a comment
print("Hello, World!")
print("Hello, World!") #This is a comment
A comment does not have to be text that explains the code, it can
also be used to prevent Python from executing code:
#print("Hello, World!")
print(“Welcome to BVCOEL!")
Multi Line Comments
#This is a comment
#written in
#more than just one line
print("Hello, World!")
102. Reserved words in Python
102
Keywords are the reserved words in Python.
We cannot use a keyword as a variable name, function name or any
other identifier.
They are used to define the syntax and structure of the Python
language.
In Python, keywords are case sensitive.
There are 33 keywords in Python 3.7.
This number can vary slightly over the course of time.
All the keywords except True, False and None are in lowercase and
they must be written as they are.
103. The list of all keywords in Python
103
False await else import pass
None break except in raise
True class finally is return
and continue for lambda try
as def from nonlocal while
assert del global not with
async elif if or yield
104. Reserved words in Python
104
Few keywords may get altered in different versions of Python.
Some extra might get added or some might be removed.
You can always get the list of keywords in your current version by
typing the following in the prompt.
>>> import keyword
>>> print(keyword.kwlist)
['False', 'None', 'True', 'and', 'as', 'assert', 'async', 'await', 'break',
'class', 'continue', 'def', 'del', 'elif', 'else', 'except', 'finally', 'for', 'from',

105. Indentation in python
105
Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line.
In other programming languages the indentation in code is for
readability only.
The indentation in Python is very important.
Most of the programming languages like C, C++, and Java use
braces { } to define a block of code.
Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.

107. Expressions in Python
107
Python expressions only contain identifiers, literals, and operators.
Expressions are representations of value.
An expression is an instruction that combines values and operators
and always evaluates down to a single value.
Expressions represent something, like a number, a string. So, any
value is an expression!

Examples:
8 + 9 -2 //constant Expression
c=a * b //Integral Expression
a * b / 2 //Floating point Expression
c = a > b //Relational Expression
a > b && y!= 0 //Logical Expression
x = y & z //Bitwise Expression
a = b + c //Assignment Expression
c = 10
Infix expression a + b
Prefix Expression +ab
Postfix expression ab+
